None of my discourse communities are able to lookup ip addresses in admin panel. The progress image won’t disappear. No error message at all.

Discourse version **eba0350** is working fine. One of the 112 new commits could have broken this feature.

What about you’re instances? Anything noticed?

Looks like it broke when we relaxed the username rules. Here’s a fix:
