OT: Test

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?

Happy to repeat -- I was sad when the fuzzy caterpillar post went away *g*.

ETA: I noticed that when commenting, I got the Notice: This account is set to log the IP addresses of everyone who comments below the reply box.

ETA2: I can't see either of our IP addresses, for what that's worth -- if the glitch is continuing, I realize that it may only be displayed to the OP anyway.

On a community post with IP logging turned on, the IPs are visible both to the OP of the post and the community moderators, but to nobody else - is that not what's going on? It should be.

(If we want IP logging turned off in this community, by the way, I'm willing to turn it off - I have no strong feelings about it either way, so. It's just that once in a while you need it, and when you do, you needed it yesterday, so I usually leave it on in my communities unless there's a particular need for anonymity.)
