privacy

Why IPs of users who visited a thread can be displayed to anyone?
Example: http://forum.vcoderz.com/misc.php?do=viewwr&t=15044
For me, I don't hiding smth, but I don't want to share this information very much.
I think that showing it to any user isn't very good. Such information should be kept only for the forum's Staff IMHO.
And I also know that some ppl cares about their privacy. It can be unacceptable for them.

Those are usually ISP's IPs, and not personal and i think nobody can hack in to your computer using it

It wasn't intended to be this way, thanks for informing me.

For me it's not. I've got a real IP, but it changes from time to time. So if I'm online, I have this IP and it isn't NAT.
Anyway thank you, Jean.
