OT: Test

[madripoor_rose]

Yesterday I made a post here, and after Ryda Wrong commented, and I replied, I realized I could see both of our IP Addresses displayed in the comments, so I deleted the post.

I've got a DW staffer who has no idea how that happened and wants screencaps if I can do it again: so if anyone who doesn't mind the ip addy displayed could comment here, please?

Okay. Newbie/computer luddite in general. Just realized I could see the IPs and wondered if that meant everybody commenting can.

No need to turn it off, I think I'll just go to permanant lurker status.

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.

Yup, just read through a bunch of posts, and couldn't see the ips there. And I think I have it sorted out with the staffer. Just one of those stupid-user moments.

No need to feel bad. When I saw this post, I remembered that I saw IP addresses displayed on a post in teaching a few days ago - and only realised a minute of panicked thinking later that I acually mod that comm and made the original post. It's an easy thing to have happen, and better to say something than have it really turn out to be a glitch.
