There was one more factor that might play into this but I don't see how it could. I had one of my admins put a usergroup of 978 in the usergroups to ignore in the AE settings. I removed it after I noticed it and that was around the same time it stopped working also. I am still playing with this some to try to figure it out. I am just throwing ideas out as to what has been done since it stopped working.

is there a way we could show the tripped members in the SUBJECT line of each reported post/thread? Thanks!

It messed up my Admin panel when I did this:

on line 71 of product-ae_detection.xml, it says something like:

now, I changed it to:
hoping that it will show all the tripped members on the subject line instead of opening all the threads.

what happened instead, my admin panel site is not working anymore. :(

its says:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/fas/public_html/forum/includes/functions_login.php(185) : eval()'d code on line 56

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/fas/public_html/forum/includes/functions_login.php(185) : eval()'d code

I disabled it using this: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=196688

Thanks so much for your help.

Can this mod possibly be changed, so that instead of making a new THREAD in a predefined FORUM... it would make a new POST in a predefined THREAD?

Though I haven't had trouble getting this mod to work in 3.7.1, I have experienced severe performance issues when it's active. The board slows to a crawl and then perks right back up after deactivating the mod.

I'm on a dual-server setup (separate web/db boxes) with 800-1000 concurrent users that works great until the AE Detector is turned on. :(

Thank You Installed...

<font face="Comic Sans MS">I just banned a troll and i'm sitting here now watching him re-register and the login detector didnt even detect it....</font>

this add on dont detect a troll (how u believe that)
is about ip if 2 users share a ip
if that "troll" change the ip is a new user

No, this mod isn't supposed to trigger if two users share the same IP. It's supposed to trigger if 2 logins come from the same computer & browser. These could be from one user or many.

If someone suspects you've got a detector like this, then they could easily fool it. Clearing cookies or using a different browser are the easiest ways.

triggering under vBulletin® v3.7.1 Patch Level 1

however, like i told my staff members, don't take it at face value and only use it as a sort of guide line.

especially when we used to use this hack alongside the Registration Prevention add-on but decided to not set it to auto ban when we discovered it to be glitchy.

Multi-Detector is still a nice tool but don't use it as an absolute.

HTH.

I'm using this mod for quit a while now, starting with v3.6.
Recently upgraded to 3.7.2 and it's still working great.

Just once it gave a false warning.
It said I shared the same computer with someone I don't even know......
