In the database, the id of the member who added the tag is recorded (in the bb_tagged table), so if you had an offensive tag, you could find out which member added it. I don't know if there's a plugin to make viewing and managing the information easier than using something like phpMyAdmin.</p> <p>Also, admins can edit everyone's tags, but a user can only add tags, or remove tags they added. They can't remove or edit other people's tags.

Not sure how long that's been broken.

Download and upload the plugin to your bbPlugins directory.<br /> 2. Activate the plugin in the bbPress Admin section.<br /> 3. Follow the file movement instructions:<br /> In the "additional-files" folder (inside this Avatar Upload plugin directory) there is several files. These need to be moved elsewhere.</p> <ul> <li> Move the entire "avatars/" folder to your bbPress root directory. (Including the "default.png" inside.) </li> <li> Move the "avatar-upload.php" to the bbPress root directory. </li> <li> Move the "avatar.php" (inside the "my-templates" folder) to your template(s) (theme(s)). Example: Move "my-templates/avatar.php" to "forums/bb-templates/kakumei/" (So it is like "forums/bb-templates/kakumei/avatar.php".) </li> </ul> <br /> I hope this helps someone :D </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/viewing-user-ips#post-19624 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:52:14 +0000 chrishajer 19624@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The IP address is logged in the database, so you could create a plugin to read that data from the database and show all IP addresses that have ever been used for that user.</p> <p>I found with most of my users, they are using either cable or DSL and their IP changes pretty frequently over the course of a year. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/viewing-user-ips#post-19622 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 12:40:24 +0000 kannued 19622@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I tried /bb-admin/view-ip.php.</p> <p>It came up with "IP Information<br /> Last 30 posts"" but nothing was below that.
