Yeah, the IP addresses appear below the subject of the post. Between you and me an IP ban isn't very practical as it's waay to easy for someone to get a different IP simply by power cycling their cable or DSL modem - or using AOL - then they have a new IP address on every page due to proxy servers.
So no - it doesn't list them on the search page - they are listed under the posts.
If you check out the "unban" list in admin, that will show usernames and hostnames (IPs) that are banned. Not sure if a classic import carries over any bans or not.
6.5 will have a mass move - but if they are bogus posts you can use the delete threads option or mass delete all that user's posts.
Again you're comparing to Classic - which, as I said is a different product. Apples/Oranges. They are both fruit, but different. So this is the wrong place for that. Make sure you post any suggestions that you want considered for UBB.Threads in the Feature Request forum here. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (Like your request for IP numbers next to posts). That's the Only way they will ever track and consider them.
You'll also find that 6.5 will work Much more like this in the Admin control panel. Make sure you check out the
6.5 Changelog for the list of changes. Sounds like 2 of the new features will be welcomed by you. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
