ok so i just got this email:

Dear membername,

Your account on HonestForum.com :: the #1 web community for designer denim has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 81.169.185.225

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:

All the best,

because somebody was trying to get into my account. we have had multiple complaints that this has happened to other people.

is there anyway to improve on this. like 1. get an email everytime this happens to other people too. or 2. have vbulletin show me whose signing in and from which ip.

you can write a plug in to when a user is logged in, it can send you an email using the user_login hook or something
