Disallow All Mods from seeing any IP addresses

[plebebo]

Using vb 3.0.8.

I want to make sure that none of the moderators or even super moderators can access any members IP addresses. I want this function only to be available for the admin.

I have checked in manage usergroups for moderators and super moderators to make sure this was disabled, but when I log in with a test super moderator username, I can still see the IP's and can search for users IP's, including admin IP's

Can someone tell me what I am missing? I have double searched the complete VB settings area.

Thanks

Could someone tell me if my original question is posted in the wrong place or is it just confusing how I worded it? I have hoped for at least some kind of response or at least someone telling me it is posted in the wrong place or something?

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Well what I did was htacces password protect my mod folder. I didn't need my super mods to gain access to that area.

Second, I ensured that I turned off all options in my admin area for viewing IPs, except admin of course.

Third I made a few style changes.

This is the change I made to my footer. Sorry, I don't know what it was before, but as you can see, it now only allows admin to see both the admin & mod control panel link.. so super mods can no longer see it to try and go to that area.

<if condition="$show['admincplink']"><a href="$admincpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[admin]</a> - <a href="$modcpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[mod]</a> - </if>

I changed template WHOSONLINE from this

<if condition="$show['ip']"><td class="thead">$vbphrase[ip_address]</td></if>

to the following to ensure it WAS just admin that would see the ips.

<if condition="$show['admincplink']"><if condition="$show['ip']"><td class="thead">$vbphrase[ip_address]</td></if></if>

And finally I changed the "postbit_ip" template, adding the admincplink if statement. This is how mine looks now.

<if condition="$show['admincplink']">
<if condition="($post[proxyip] != '')">
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ipp.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="$post[ip]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title="$post[ip]" border="0" /></a>
</else></if>
</if>

I think that was it. Sorry I couldn't remember more of what I did. If anyone knows where else the IP shows, do let me know though. Hope I was of some help.
