When you intend to sell your board and do not want the buyer to find out your IP details, is it any possible to remove all IPs of admins from logs? Like, if someone searches for IPs of admins but don't find anything. Is it possible to remove all those?

I recall a few mods for this but only located one:

There may be others however I bet they're for 3.x series... I also did a custom mod for this once which did similar to Borbole's mod which also removed all IP's from places such as postbit and other where the little ip pc icon appears and discloses ip when hovered. I would still search more, use Google as well because it shows more relevant search results (imo) than simply using the search function here alone.

That mod from what I read and remember only hides Super-Admin IP's though, you could modify to suite normal admins I suppose (have not viewed file) but you'll need to check. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use the above mod and make all admins into Super-Admins, that is NOT ADVISED - You've been CAPS WARNED :p.

Can someone help with this please?

I need the IPs removed permanently (not hide them) from the board. So if I give you access to admincp, you are not able to check IPs of any of the admins. I need to do this before selling the board.

Well in order to hide them, you have to either remove them or change them in the following tables:

adminlog
moderatorlog
post
postlog
searchcore
session
user
userchangelog
visitormessage

Note that in some cases they are stored as a decimal/long. http://www.smartconversion.com/unit_conversion/IP_Address_Converter.aspx
