Comments please?

I'm testing something on the IP address being displayed in comments thing, could I get 5 people who don't mind their IP addy being seen to comment here?


ETA: doesn't seem to be happening this time. Maybe related to Cesy's post two down from this. Or was a momentary glitch. Waiting to hear on Common Nature and Exercise Every Day, where it also happened yesterday.

Yesterday, I made posts on two comms and here, and after I answered, both commenter and my own IP addresses were displayed in the comment. So I deleted I've got a DW staffer who has no idea how that happened, and wants screencaps if I can do it again.

I thought Cesy had disabled IP logging.

That seems to be it. I'd never posted on a comm here, and didn't know how the IP tracking worked.

In my experience it works the same way it does on LiveJournal.

Then I guess I'm not on any comms on LJ with IP tracking enabled....I've never seen the IP addresses of the commentors in a post I made before.

No, that's normal, the poster of the entry, and mods, see the IP addresses.

TBH, I've never understood why people worry about it, tracking IP addresses of readers is one of the simplest things to do anyway (embed an image from a webserver you control is the easiest method), but then my approach to many things is completely different to many site users so...

Yeah, it's a setting on a comm, so you can ask the mods to change it.
