Someone on my forum is a forum manager and has admin powers...

I edited it so that they can only do the following:


Add/Delete Forums
Add/ Delete Threads
Add/Delete Notices


But I am kind of suspicious as the person keeps logging in with different Ip addresses...
So does this mean if they change something via admin cp and I check the logs by admin cp... Will I know if they have changed it because I was thinking if they
"DELETE a load of threads" and I check logs will it show because I am not sure if it will say because the person could be using a different *Ip address* and then delete things without me knowing.

It will log their name and their IP if they do something. Just make sure you didn't give them permission in your config.php file to delete logs and you should always see if they did something.

So if *IP address 1* decides to delete forums...
and then the user logs in with *IP address 2*

Both ip address 1 and 2 being different, then it will still pick it up?

If you look at your Moderator Log, you'll see it keeps track of the userid who did the moderation and the IP it was done from.

Don't forget that some people logon from work and from home. And, some people have a dynamic IP, not a static IP.
