How do you find out a persons IP on forums?

Title says it all.
I heard that you can get a persons IP from the "who's online" list on forums but how?
Help is always appreciated.

Be a staff/admin/mod. That's the only way to get IPs.

I'm pretty sure you can do it on a normal account.

P.S. the forums are running vBulletin 3.8.4

Alright, I'm gonna give you this script. Register a Free hosting at Byethost.com and follow the steps.

Code - get.php :
<html>
<?php
$file = "ips.txt";
$f=fopen($file, 'a');
fwrite($f,$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n");
fclose($f);
?>
<p>File not found</p>
</body>
</html>

1.) First of all you need to make a new .txt document on the website you're uploading this to. Name it ips.txt (You can change that in the script aswell where it says $file = 'ips.txt'; in the second line. Then change the CHMOD to 777.

2.) Now you need to past the script above in to a get.php document, and upload it.

3.) Now you make people visit your site, and they will see only " File Not Found " !

4.) To view the IP, you simply add "/ips.txt" after your domain, and you'll see the IP.

Thanks for that but I'm solely looking for the method of grabbing a persons IP from the Who's Online list, or any other way from forums.

You're missing the point here, I want to know if there is a way to find out from forums.
But thanks anyways.
