The browser part of it is nice especially in Opera when I have to mask myself on the site in Firefox because Opera seems to make the Find feature in the templates edit disappear. Plus if you are testing stuff in different browsers and get confused, like us old people do sometimes.

I basically did it to see if I could actually pull it off.

Hi Boofo, it looks nice, but you can't get the "real" IP address for sure unless you implement some sort of authentication protocol at the application layer that encodes the IP address,
the IP data packet can be rewritten arbitrarily by someone "in the middle" who has access to it. E.g., a proxy, router, gateway, etc.

So YOU say.

Thank you for the kind words. I am updating the mod now as sort of a footer toolbox that will have the copyright text from the $vboptions as a setting and phrase as well as an "extended Time is now" display. I will be adding more to it as time goes on.
