Admit you have a conversation between two members only. Admit you share one URL and see a third unknown IP.
The question is : who could have seen that URL if it was not shared elsewhere.
Many thanks

In theory nobody else that is not in the conversation; where did you see the third IP ?? (because it seems that conversation was between three members)

Thanks for the confirmation. I did see the third IP on a server's logs with for origin the conversation and page.
Perhaps the quidam I was talking with had several locations because we were not three

Perhaps the forum software does some form of validation on the link, which could show up as a hit.

Double login (desktop & mobile/tablet) perhaps? If it's your server: Store the ip when the user logs in. If it's different the next time, block it or do something else...
