Mumsnet Towers a question ..thanks

[stuffitllama]

Does Mumsnet log your IP address?

bump

bumpety bump

COURSE

thank you Tony so does that mean our anonymity is worthless?

Not exactly, stuffitllama, because we are bound by ancient laws of secrecy (well, ok, data protection rules) not to divulge that info to anyone else

But they can't do anything with the information anyway. DATA protection act, yada yada

You can reset your IP address anyway.

Dont' worry about it Gwynnie, we won't let on.

thanks Helen but hackers could find out, yes?

ho ho if only
mind you that Chris Martin's a drink of water

how do you reset it?

excellent description of him!!

I don't know how you reset it, only that you can! ask a geek!

what, stuffitllama, hackers hacking into MNHQ top-secret data files? Don't let Tech hear you saying that...

i know where's LL when you need her
oh yes

well they might the little sods
what can they tell from an IP address? have got my teeth into this, sorry if you wanted to watch eastenders a wildlife programme

Watch your on line bank account! Never mind about mumsnet fgs!

Stuffitllama - you're not really making it clear what it is exactly that you're concerned about

You have nothing to worry about. It doesn't tell anyone anything useful and MN keep it secret anyway. All sites can SEE your IP address.

Not to worry Thornyrose.. someone told me the anonymity doesn't mean much so I was just checking.

Thanks Liffy, thanks Onager, thank you all

but really, thanks
