I found this to be a very useful option. It allowed me to privately give someone my IP address. Will the option be coming back?
Thank you.

Jiri removed this feature because it was basically useless to most. Sorry you lost your tool, but you can always get your public IP by going to:

I liked having the tool because it allowed me in one step to quickly send my IP address privately to someone else in HL not because I needed a tool to find my own IP address.
Now I have to use one tool to find my IP and then copy it, and then paste my IP into a second tool which is HL's 'send page message'.
For me and others I gamed with, it wasn't a useless tool, it was a quick way to send important information.
Thank You.

The issue was with the hundreds of users that didn't use the tool, but since it was next to the "Send Message" selection, users would accidently send their IP to people all the time. Very annoying, and possibly compromising.

Sorry you lost the tool, but for the betterment of HL as a whole, it had to go.
