Hi Josh,
I'll post my wishes to the Threads suggestions.
As a newbie to Threads, I wanted to make sure it wasn't a feature I had missed.
I totally agree with you about the IP address bannings. I am pretty well versed in that area. I work with IP addies often, trying to help out our local Coast Guard and Police. I realize that people can change IPs. But, if you study them all on one page, often, you can learn a bit about their history and posting styles. Just recently, I was able to work with a police unit, and we successfully tracked a user who was using a college campus to post his follies. They caught him! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I rarely ban by IP and only when it is static. Out of 5 years of running a bb, I have only felt the need to include less than 5 static IPs.
Yes, the import carried over the bans of users and IP.
Although it is probably normal to "compare" Classic to Threads after using it for so long, my reason for posting this question is this: I was hoping that Threads had some of these abilities, as they seem pretty basic, and I was hoping to find that I just hadn't found out how, yet.
If it's not there, it's good to know that I can stop searching for that button. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
What I am talking about, however, is not about banning, but the need to Search for IP addresses.
I can't seem to get an IP search on the CP to work. I am hoping that I'm doing something wrong, and I'd like to know how.
Everything I do, seems to take ages, and when it does come up, it seems to be a list of all members, rather than isolated IP addresses.
When you search for an IP from "edit users" it doesn't return any results. In other words, when you know there's a post or person using an IP, and you search for that IP, you don't get a search result at all. Same search for UserName returns User Name, but search for a known IP returns nothing. That doesn't seem right, and it leads me to believe, or hope, that I am doing something wrong.
That's why I posted here in the "How do I?" area.
I also would like to know where the "delete for all users posts" is? That one I thought I had seen, but could not find it again. Where is it located?
I'll go study the "changelog", although most of it is a little over my head! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
