Let's see if the unknown bug has infected me too.

Nope.

yeah im getting this, is everyone here running the newest windows 10 build? i think i might know whats causing it

How would your Operating System have any relation to a text element on a webpage? SMF pulls your IP from your User Agent data when you submit a post, which is not generated by the Operating System itself but by your browser instead. The UA data is always accurate; this is an issue to do with the forums itself.

Anyway, my IP is working just fine.

ip works

this is weird

I don't know why this started happening suddenly but it seems to be ipv6 related. I have definitely used the forum on ipv6 before and it worked (truncated the ip), but now it doesn't. I cut out a bunch of handicapped code from smf and now ipv6 works. It's possible I've destroyed everything. If everything is hackable or whatever just message/email me.

Making old things ipv6 compatible is such a pain. At least this works now.

Yes

The IP addresses you're used to seeing are IPv4 addresses, which will someday(?) be fully phased out because of scarcity.
