Epoman,

On all of the messages at the bottom right hand, it says.

Report to Moderator         Logged.

On mine it says,

Report to Moderator         195.93.21.129

Just wondering why :-\

Yours

Good question Kevno,

The answer is that number is your IP address (It stands for Internet Protocol, it's like a virtual address for your computer. YOU are able to YOUR IP and so can Admins, however OTHERS do not see your IP. it simply shows them "logged". And others see their IP address. So when you see it, its because the forum knows it's you and lets you see.

All IP addresses are logged so if their ever is a problem an admin can track down the culprit. And the "Report to Moderator" that's the button you click when you want to report a post to a mod that's not appropriate or is threatening the sites integrity.

Good questions my friend, I hope I answered them for you.
