installed on ver 3.7.3 and works :)

i have 1 question.
can this add ons, create a threads, instead PM?
can you guide me, how to do it?

thank you

It's all built in...Go to admin cp, vb options/ae multiple login detection settings, and set it up the way you want. It's quite straightforward.

it ask, the forum id, how can i set the forum id?

thanks i will installed it soon

If you don't already have a sub-forum created where you want the threads to go, make one. Then go to admin cp: Forums & Moderators/Forum Manager. Next to the sub-forum you want click GO (with the drop-down saying Edit Forum, which is the default).

On the bar at the top of the next screen, it will say something like:

Forum: Staff Forum (id: 3)

Where "Staff Forum" is whatever name you gave the sub-forum you want the threads to go on, and "3" is some number or another. That number is the forum id you want, plug that number in the settings for the modification.

This is really basic stuff, you really should read the vBulletin documentation.

WHat a surprise, such an easy add-on and i managed to somehow not get it working.......lol Anyone got any ideas?

It doesnt work for me either!
I get no pms and it is active and enabled.

lol..... at least you can check that, im not even sure its active... lol

Well it works for me (3.7.2pl1), just installed as normal and job done...

Anyway I didn't post this to gloat at the people who can't get it working, I posted this for the following important word of warning

if you configure the mod to create a thread when the detector triggers you have to specify a username to make this thread as. When I set things up I decided to use the admin account for this. After running the mod for a few months this decision had a very interesting side effect.

Recently we had a extremely disruptive troll register various accounts, all the mods were on his/her case and chasing down new registrations. Then one of them decided to do an IP search, guess what the Administrator account came up in the IP search as having shared an IP on numerous occasions with the troll!!!!

At this point the mod team started to look at me and question what was going on...

What happened here is that when the troll was logging in multiple accounts the mod was detecting these and creating a thread under the Admin account, however as the troll triggered this the IP of the post was the same as the trolls, so now the Admin account is associated with the troll.

Make sense?

Anyway, the solution - I have created a dedicated AccountBot account which post theses threads and all mods have been made aware that this bot may share IP addresses with any account and should be ignored if it comes up on an ip search.

I used a slightly different solution to this when I first noticed this (long time ago) - I added a line to the thread creation code to set the ip address to '0.0.0.0'
