But that only works if you have the required permissions, "normal" users do not have that facility.

Out of interest why would you want such useless bit of information? There is a common misconception that IP addresses mean something and are a means of identifying people - this is not true, or at least not until IPV6 gets fully implemented and even then I have my reservations.

Of course, but they're unlikely to be posting if they're not the board owner.

I can possibly tell you if that user has more than one account but shouldn't be taken as solid proof.
