Well, theres something I want to enquire about. The older posts, before I installed the proxy to real ip hack, is there anyway to make them detect the proxy and change it into the real ip? Because I've gotten the hack to work, and it detects perfectly, but only new posts after the installation were detected, older posts will still show the proxies.

No, the ip can only be detected at the time, not after the event.

Hey guys,I am majorly interested in this hack as i have had problems with spammers using the proxy trick to bypass bans.Can anyone confirm that this hack will work with vB 3.0.7? thanks alot :)

I used it and it worked.

Thanks for the reply.I have one question.I am about to install this mod on my forums but when reading the instructions it's fairly vague so just wanted to make sure of something.

Step 2 is also something i have to add to MYSQL?or is it something i have to add to one of vB's templates?I've used PHPmyadmin pleanty of times but i'm not 100% fluent with it.so just don't want to make any mistakes :)

Go to your Phrase Manager in the Admin contol panel. In the Phrase Manager select Phrase Type: Front-End Redirect Messages. Click Add New Phrase.
Paste thread_displayproxyip in the Varname text box.

Paste:

Real IP Address : $postinfo[ipaddress]<br>
$postinfo[hostaddress]<br>
Proxy Server IP Address : $postinfo[proxyip]<br>
$postinfo[proxyhost]

in the Text text box. Click Save.

You have made a mistake in either step 4 or step 5.

Start with an unhacked copy of functions_newpost and redo those steps.
