Mod Name / Version: Lookup IP address of Poster
Description: This mod turns the IP address displayed in a user's post into a hyperlink that queries a Whois Proxy with the IP address. I used
www.nic.com but you may substitute with others.
We only disply IP addresses to Admin/Moderators and this makes it easy for them to quickly see where someone really is if they didn't enter their company name in their profile
