In theory, it should. I haven't heard anyone complain. I'll be doing some official testing on vBulletin 3.5 through 3.8 within the next few days.

Just to let you all know, I'm working on the next major version, which will include some new methods for the Login Detection (much like Registration Prevention), IP address detection for logins, administrator protection, a settings diagnostic tool, some recommendations on how to get the best out of this modification, and anything else I can fit in.

I will also do further testing with different vBulletin versions. Though as of right now, this seems to work just fine on versions 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.

Please let me know about bugs or requests as soon as possible so I can fix up the next version to be purely awesome.

Right now when I use post the report via new thread it creates a new thread under a super admins account...which increases his post count. Is there a way to change the username?

ok i enable d the verbose and everything looks fine so far.and now its giving the right info when 2 users login with the same ip.so far so good,thnx:D

Sure thing. If you want to change the reporter to be a different user, go to the reporting options, and change the "Multiple Account Reporter" to the ID number of the user that you want to report everything. If you want to keep the user but just change the username, then you can always edit the user's username within your AdminCP.

Oh, that's good to hear! :) There shouldn't be any difference in the detection method whether verbose mode is on or not, so maybe the issue was just a fluke.

I've just encountered this for the first time. I have a listing of two users possibly being the same but the last three IP numbers are different: XX.XXX.XXX.230 vs XX.XXX.XXX.132. Is this plugin foolproof or can it make a mistake in detection?

Hmm... That hasn't happened to me.

Do you have access to phpMyAdmin?

I do, yes.

Alright. I have just reread your post and I'm actually wondering exactly what you meant. Did you mean that there was a detection of matching IP addresses, but the IP addresses didn't actually match? If so, prep and run this SQL:

Be sure to replace the %table_prefix% with the table prefix (like 'vb_' or 'vbulletin_' or something else) that your database uses for vBulletin. Replace %problem_ip% with the IP address that was reported as the matching IP address.

After you run it, you should get 2 results if it's actually working properly.

If you meant that you wanted it to catch the incident, but it didn't, then there's not much that I can do for that. The entire IP address of everyone is checked because there can be hundreds of people that have a matching first three numbers (i.e. 124.78.20.100 could be the same person as 124.78.20.201, but it could also be someone else entirely). Checking only the first three numbers would make for a lot of false positives over the years.

hi I've had this on my forum for a few weeks now and it just detected 3 users 2 of them r banned but it seems it didn't ban or send to the specific user group but the prob is this user was registered before i installed this and this must have been the first time hes logged in since so dose this send to specific user group or ban them if they were all ready registered
