I installed it, but it doesn't show anywhere under VBulletin Options :disappointed:

Hi,
Thanks very much for this useful plugin.

May I suggest something ?
What if we could get some more informations like :

- what new username is used by the user
- what IP was used by the user before and after (if different)

Thanks anyway

this is all i get on vb 3.5.3 moreover on the product manager it still show version 1.01

Great hack, already caught a few :) Can anyone comment on how many queries this causes on the forums? Does it increase server load much on a large forum?

My load has gone up, but I've changed a few things, mods etc... just trying to figure out what may be causing the load increase, whether it is this or something else.

Thanks

unless you probably have multiple people constantly logging in all day long as in serveral a second then this should not be a problem with your load. more and likely something else

Thanks

My mistake, I didn't import it under Products. Silly me! Works wonderfully now.

Thanks!

Great thing to have

Thank You :)

If I may suggest one thing: I would love to change the phrase which is posted on every multiple login. But I can't since it is not in the phrases. Would love to see this possibility :)

May I ask why I cannot seem to download the attachment? Instead it is just coming up in my browser as text...

Actually, this mod has no queries associated with it. It's strictly cookie based.

The next update will do this, for now you can edit the text in the plugin.

You should click Save As... to save the XML file to your computer - once saved as a file you can upload it to your Admin CP.

A small problem. The hack doesn't generate a new thread in my specified forum when the etector is tripped. All permissions for the thread poster and forum are set so new threads can be created.

Any idea what could be wrong?

I have it running fine with posting threads to the forum; permissions are not required in this case. Are you sure you set the forum id properly for the forum to post to?

Is there a way so it doesn't associate the each ip with the admin account.

How accurate is it? If it detects 6 users on one computer can there be another explenation?

It's as accurate as the cookie system allows it to be - meaning if 6 users are using the same computer either a) one person is logging into 6 accounts or b) more than one person is using that computer to login to accounts.

We don't track IPs, although I believe a variant has been made to do just that.

Thank you this is great stuff.

It's like I get the ip of the user that gets reported in the thread. So my user id get associated with all these ip's.

Is there a way of making the detector delete the cookies once it's been tripped? That way it would catch repeat offenders if they return to the forum.

Same thing here - i have tested on a seperate computer with 2 test usernames as well.

Cool idea.. Is there a way that I can have this hack send out a notification to the dual account users with a phrazed message letting then who about there accounts with message tracking turned on? It's a pain to have to email everyone by hand. Is there a way to have the hack stop sending the same dual account warning more then once, because what is happening is that some of these dual account are OK since there are several family members using different account with one PC and everytime someone logs in I get a pm and getting flooded with them

Can you make the option fot it to post in one thread, I think it's easier to keep track than read every PMs separately, title of PM only show one user so we don't know what all inside until we read it

123. Plus I'm sick of having to delete tonnes of PMs all the time ;) Great mod though.

I haven't read all the posts here

but I have one HUGE problem with this hack

It works fine

but everytime it triggers the alarm....the offenders IP is added to my IP list

now my partners are wondering if I'm running a massive account duplicating ring

:rolleyes:


pretty funny

but could cause some serious trouble between staff

A member recently tripped the detector and it made an alert thread in the specified forum. But it simply said a mutiple log-in was detected. No ip addie or mention of who the other account belonged too. Is this right?

Even weirder is the fact that the member who tripped the detector doesn't exist in the memberlist :S

Once again, we don't do anything we IP addresses in this mod; so it's not coming from this mod.

I've had two alerted that it's shown only a single user name?

I share the same IP with every user that has ever tripped this hack....

the automatic thread is started with my username and the IP for that post is the offenders IP......thus

I retain their IP on my list

its pretty cut and dry Dude


not a problem for me......but it could be for others

Gunshot I have noticed the exact same thing. It isn't a problem for us but it is happening.

Ah, okay, I see what you are saying; I was a little confused by the "my IP list", but I see now you are talking about the "view ip addresses" of vB.

Nice to know, something I'll see if there is a workaround for.

cool


maybe even just a warning in the install file would do

Ok, it seems to be working.

However, I logged into my test account, logged out, logged into my second test account and then logged out.

It sent me the alert.

However when I loggged in to the test1, then out, then test2, then out again, I did not get another alert. I logged into both back and forth several times and got nothing. Then I logged into a 3rd test account and then I got the alert.

So does that mean it only alerts one time? and then after will not alert me if they are still doing it?

this is vB related... same thing happens when an account is set to automatically create a thread with information from another account. same thing happens with the Welcome Thread and Birthday Thread hacks. just an FYI that might help point you in the right direction.

Is there any way to make it so that when it makes a report, it names the other account(s) that matches?

At the moment, it only tells me that someone's account has tripped it.
I then have to go looking in the ACP for ip addies to see who matches up.

I'm not sure what you mean "the other account(s) that matches"? The text of the PM or the message posted should list all of the accounts which have been used on that computer previously.

It's working as designed - it won't notify you every time the user logs into each of those accounts; only on the initial detection of a subsequent new login for that computer.

It would be very useful to know the usergroup of the different users. By example:

... User1 (registered) and User2 (Premium) in the same PC ...

Regards

Mine doesn't for some reason.
It makes a post in a pre-designated forum saying " XXX tripped the AE Login detector" then the post itself merely says

Nothing else :(

Milesian, make sure you have a current version installed as that is a phrase that should have been installed; this may have been from an earlier version.

Ok, I'l try a re-install tonight. Thanks.

For the setting "Userid of who PM sender / Alert poster", I set it to myself. I've also made for the alerts to be posted in a specific forum.
The problem is that for some reason, when it creates a new thread, it adds that user IP under my username "[Find More Users with this IP Address]". So even though I never posted using their username (or even logged into theirs), when a new thread is created for someone who was detected, their IP and username gets put under mines.

Hope I sound logical.

yup, it's already being discussed.
