DEmersonJMFM is right, you had the bar collapsed. I've opened it for you, but click on the far right arrow a couple of times anyway, so that you know how to get it back if you accidentally lose it again!

Admins can't hide IP addresses on logged out edits, but in extreme cases staff can. In most cases there is no need - IPs usually only give very general information about location and ISP. So, for example, from my home IP you would be able to find out that I live in San Francisco, and use Comcast (okay, the second part might be something I want to hide ;) And, of course, with most edits there is nothing to connect the IP with the logged in users - it could just be a passing anon

But in the few cases where it may give more specific information, for example a school IP, then staff can hide them. It's not something we like to do, amongst other reasons: the IP links that edit to others made by (probably) the same person, which can be important in tracking problems. But we will consider doing so if there seems to be a need
