What would be the purpose of doing this? If you think that it will stop spam then it will not.

Also what happens when you have dynamic IP addresses and two totally different users login with the same IP address, or you have two users that are physically on the same IP address?

From the screenshot that you have posted it looks as if you have not transferred all of the files or you have transferred them to the wrong place.

I would suggest that it is something that should be reported in the Bug Tracker

Update it to what?

it offers an ability to protect your server.

But most people do not have their own server

You don't need your own server. I have a shared account.

But you specifically said your server implying that you had to have your own dedicated server.

Anyone working on an extension for gathering the relevant permissions?

Yes - me

deally one that uses IP addresses to determine if someone is in the EU

Not possible - IP addresses are not accurate plus there is the problem of using a proxy - all IP addresses can be masked.

EU can have whatever views that they want but nobody can make laws retrospective - therefore anything posted prior to these regulations does not have to be removed.

As a user of your forum I am asking for your "thumbs up" that my forum is not going to be an issue. If you have doubts or reservations about saying yes, then somethign should be investigated. After all, you don't want someone to stamp down on you as a company provided the forum to be used but no GP...

I have my doubts how this is all going to be policed, and it will be down to the police

I believe that policing it will be the same as now with Data Protection, it will be policed by the ICO - in other words they will only respond if a complaint is made.

It would be great if this extension could be, well, extended to create lists for users to look at

The problem with that would be that it would be nightmare to cope with permissions - there are many items in that list that you would/should not let users see about other users.

Not sure if this will give you what you are looking for - viewtopic.php?f=456&t=2401101

Set the permissions so that only those in the Admin & Moderator groups can see the forum and all other groups cannot see it.

Is there anything or can this be done?

Google Analytics

If you believe that this is incorrect behaviour then you should create a ticket in the bug tracker
