I had some problems with this, it would always record the real IP as the proxy ip as well

this fixed it for me:

Replace:
return $real_ip;
with:
if($real_ip != $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) return $real_ip;

Hmm, when I spot someone who is apparently using a proxy, and go to get their info, it just says:

Is it not able to find proxy IP addresses?

Thanks for this BTW!

That means you have not done the file edits properly.

I edited them exactly as specified.

I love Paul M's mods! Always work, easy to install, and no extra fluff.

Thank you VERY much!

I guess the only thing more I could want from this would be a diff against 3.7.3PL1 that I could simply run 'patch' on. :D

Actually I tryed to install it but I didn't find some codes you mentioned in the class core

Come2Daddy - depending on the HTML/PHP editor you are using, the find-function is likely not searching the entire document from top down with each find request. And that can easily throw a person off.

In otherwords, you likely were able to complete Step 1, but once you got to Step 2, it couldn't find the code you entered in.

If that is the case, try going thru it again, but after you complete Step 1, scroll back up to the very top and physically click on the first line of the file. Once you see the cursor flashing there, try the search for the code in Step 2 again.

I'm running 3.7.3 forums (few of them XD) and this code works as a brand new install (not sure how I overlooked it prior).

Thanks Paul M :) Another great job.

Thanx Harlita

actually I followed your instructions and it worked just fine, however I didn't notice any difference after I installed this hack

thanx any way

How do we know if this hack is working? :D

Thanks! Die mmog gold spammers... die...
