Well, you don't have to go hide! Everybody gets turned around when they're new.

Actually, you should check an older post in the community that you *aren't* OP of, just to make sure you can't see the IPs there. It's possible it is a glitch.

ETA: And if the staffers are confused, it might be that's not how it's supposed to work on DW - it's how I've noticed it working before, though, and it's how it's supposed to work on JF and LJ, so I just assumed it was what DW intended, too.
