RE: IP shown on User Cp - Jisatsu - Dec 21, 2017
ipv6 instead of ipv4 is being used.

Your ISP is using IPv6, which is completely normal. Most ISP’s will assign you both anyways, and it won’t affect anything.

Sometimes when I'm checking my ip, 1 site will give ipv6 address, another site will give me ipv4. Just make sure it's your ipv6 address, through cmd > ipconfig /all.
Hope that helps.

ok thx for that answer :)

Oh. Hm.
HF hasn't been compatible with IPv6 before. Maybe it has been routing it to an IPv4 for you to be able to access the site.
But now it's compatible. So, it uses your normal, which happens to be IPv6.
Only explanation that i can come up with.

As others has said it isn't anything unusual with Omniscient adding support for ipv6. Do some reading on ipv6 addresses if you have the time.
RE: IP shown on User Cp - popir - Dec 21, 2017
now its back to ipv4 i think... this is a little confusing xD
RE: IP shown on User Cp - OneManCrowd - Dec 21, 2017
I believe Omni recently enabled IPv6 for Hackforums, so that's what you're seeing there. It's nothing to worry about 🙂
RE: IP shown on User Cp - Omniscient - Dec 22, 2017
Since we now accept ipv6 connections it's likely your ISP is routing you through ipv6.

Is your IP v4 or v6?
