    Does anyone know how to make it so that users cannot see other users’ email and IP addresses in the Manage\Comments section of the admin panel? As things are, even users with the lowest permissions rating can access this information. any help would be appreciated greatly. thanks 😉

    They can only see them for comments on their posts, right? I think the idea is to allow posters to be able to contact the people who comment on their posts.

    If you want to take a stab at editing your control panel files, you could find the place where this info is displayed and conditionalize it using something like this:

    <?php if ($user_level > 5) { (code that displays info you want to hide) }; ?>

    so it doesn’t show up in the admin panel.

    Hi greeenkaos,

    Did you have any luck with hiding email and IP from users? I want to do exactly same thing on my site. If you’ve got it working could you please let me know how to do it. Thanks.
