OK, I've just been on another forum and apparently they can find out my IP address pretty easily using an IP Logger. How does this work exactly; is it every time I post a message they can trace that, and if so, how?
Finally, is there any way they can, y'know, get into my computer?
I don't normally ask these questions because I thought an up todate virus checker and firewall usually does the trick. I know Ips can be logged by websites using scripts, by other users on a forum... how (for the third time)?

Yep, OK... so it should be impossible for a user of a forum (e.g. yourself) get my IP simply from one of my posts/prescence being on here?
Your IP is logged by the forum administrator only.
Therefore it's very unlikely the moderator would molest your computer - they only use the logging system for moderating purposes - Say if you wrote something offensive- they could I ban you.
