I'm having the same problem but, humbly I admit, I don't understand your answer. Can you give a step by step for disabling all other users of global_start? Thanks!

diregard - I figured it out! this rocks!

One thing to watch out for, I have a private forum setup but on installation of Miserable users, in testing if I assigned a user to be in the new 'miserable users' usergroup, the user was able to see a forum that was marked Private and read the messages within. Otherwise the hack works great, thanks!

I rebuilt forum information in Update Counters and then had to edit the Forum Permissions for the Private forum, setting 'miserable users' usergroup to "All No".

This is more an issue with adding new usergroups in vbulletin than the miserable users hack itself.

Hehe, I even tested it on myself. Works great!

This is a very usefull Plug Inn, but to make it perfect, would be nice to link the lucky user with the cookie on AE detector so if the user takes a new username will get miserable status again...
Just a tought.
Regards...:banana:

You can specify an IP address as well as a username - so if they are trying to use a different username from the the same IP address - you've got them covered both ways. No need to link AE detector ->which is another nice mod that I use...

Yes, but the problem here is too many dynamic IP's and guys who use cable I get a bunch of people sharing IP's using cable.
What I do now is to detect the new user with AE detector and apply the miserable status..
Regards...

You would need to ask the author of the AE hack to add the ability to move detected users to another usergroup.

Paul,

I think I speak for all of us when I say this mod will not be complete until we can tap into their webcams and see the frustration on their faces. I'll be waiting for your response.

Thanks,

CH

P.S. Seriously, you're evil and I like it. Keep on, keepin' on!
