Sorry. I haven't received a response from the author of vB Optimise. I'll start looking into it myself. Until a solution is found, either keep vB Optimise disabled or disable reporting via new threads.

hey kiros,

sorry for the lag....i haven't upgraded to 1.1.1 but i'm noticing that on 1.1.0, it's sporadically posting blanks (or underscores, as the case may be). sometimes, however, it's working perfectly fine. disabling vboptimise seems to fix it but i'd honestly rather have this working partially with vbOptimise than disabling it entirely. :p

Hi there

I have a few members moved to prevention group but I got no notification about them. I just found them in the prevention group. What are these members? Why I'm not getting a pm about these member?

Note that I'm getting notifications about multiple registrants and these users are getting moved to the prevention group without problems.

help me
after installing the mod it seem user can't login and appear "
Warning: require_once([path]/madp/detection.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/functions_login.php(185) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home2/lintasca/public_html/forum/madp/detection.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home2/lintasca/public_html/forum/includes/functions_login.php(185) : eval()'d code on line 3"

i had the same problem, until i realized my ftp software did not upload "detection.php"

i was having a freak out session when i could not login to the admincp!

I know, I know. I'm sorry about this. I've contacted the author of vB Optimise and he/she was absolutely no help. Not even a response... I actually haven't had any time to look into vB Optimise's code because I JUST got my computer running again; there was a major hard disk failure.

I've never had that happen to me. Is it possible that a setting was configured incorrectly for a small amount of time - allowing prevention to be carried out but not allowing reports to be made? Is this still happening?

It looks like the files weren't uploaded correctly. Make sure you have the /madp/ directory and all of it's contents uploaded to your forum root.

Thanks for addressing their issue :)

For future reference, if anyone is stuck and cannot login, add this line near the top of the /includes/config.php file: This will disable all of your plugins (including MADP).

Would it be an idea to add MAC address detection on registration?

Can this be combined with proxy blocking functionality?
DNSBL, RBL - Open Proxy monitoring/blocking
Check Proxy RBL on New User Registration.

If you can tell me how I would do that, then sure. I don't really think it's possible. But, if you can find a way and know that it can be incorporated into a modification, I'll definitely look into it.

Those modifications are independent of this one, so they should work just fine together.

please update to 3.8x..please

I believe it works with 3.8.0 just fine. I haven't heard any complaints yet.

really. let me try to install it.

good.....but i think is not work with 3.80. i installed it because so many user register with proxy ip. and when i installed it. i did not see any report to the forum or private messenger. why?

As long as the reporting options are set correctly, you should see postings and messages. The only conflict that I know of right now is when vB Optimise is installed.

should i keep the setting 1 or the admin user id? but my user id is ku666666. not the number 1

and is that enter my admin user name?

i try to register two user account with the same notebook computers. but they allow me to register. and no report. is that not really work with 3.80

needs to be same browser too , without cookies getting deleted

something maybe setting wrong. the proxy ip still can register more and more user. anyone can help it..i hate those crazy peoples. one ip register 51 user and then post ad in my forum.

A "User ID" is not a username. You need to enter in the ID number. Whenever you view your profile, you can see your User ID in the address bar. Look for "u=XX" where XX will be some number.

For the private messaging recipients, that is where you put the usernames of those people that should get a private message. You must have the option enabled as well.

Yes, thanks for the note! Yet I don't think that's the problem here.

Yes, I believe that you are not getting the results that you want because you did not change the ignore settings. You're an administrator, and by default administrators are ignored. Make sure that all of your ignore fields are empty, and then try again.

thanks for help. 1 is my id number. i put on ignore users. Ignored Usergroups keep blank. also i enable . i think all setting i fixed. let me see if any report tomrrow.

i really need it. but may really not work for 3.8 0...........sorry

I am not getting any reports.

ok i messed up big time.

i forgot to upload the files - i uploaded the product and turned it on. now i am not able to log in.

what do i do ... plz help.

I'll ask a friend to test it on his vBulletin installation (3.8.1).

What are your reporting settings? What about your ignore settings?

Just upload the files to the proper place, and everything will work. The proper place is the forum root. Do not upload the "upload" folder, but do upload everything that is inside the "upload" folder to the forum root.

Thank you.

Would Love a 3.8 upgrade.

Alrighty, I checked with a friend that has vBulletin 3.8.1 installed. It works just like it should on vBulletin 3.8. ;)

on my v.3.8.1 it makes the admincp and modcp blank. i have to disable it in order to be able to get to the admin panel again.

lemme edit this: i uninstalled and reinstalled and it's ok now.

Completely blank? Or do you mean that it won't let you login?

What other modifications do you have installed?

Hey what kind of information does Verbose Mode include?

Also I would love for the report to include the IP they accessed the account on, since I am finding it hard to link these 3 accounts together that the report showed. and so far I have not found any IP linking them together.

Verbose mode doesn't currently include the IP address information, but I'll include it in my next release. If you cannot find a match of the member's IP addresses, then it's likely that they're either using proxy servers or they have a dynamic IP address. In this case, all of their IP addresses would be different anyway. If they were caught by cookie, then you know that they're using the same computer.

I am not sure if this is a bug, but I noticed when searching for IPs my username is showing up on many of the accounts. and I am linking that IP back to the post that was made by this hack.

Yes, that's somewhat of a bug I guess. I had to modify the method a while back so the IP checks don't catch that false positive. I'll see what I can do about that in my next release. Thanks for bringing that up.

Did not prevent multiple registrations, and did not report the multiple account log in.

Update...
Im checking again, because it seems to work fine with certain browsers, but not with others (Chrome)

Really? I tested it with Google Chrome before and it worked just fine.

Have you tried testing it on other computers? You may have Chrome/IE cookie settings restricted.

Anyway to get this to work with vbulletin 3.81? Willing to pay $$ :)

i guess i could install it for you, but how much is it worth to simply install it since it works fine on my v3.8.1 system stock? ;)

It works fine on vBulletin 3.8.1. I'll help you install it if you'd like. PM me for further help.

any ideea what this is ... i get them on 2 forums on 3.7.4.

Do you have vB Optimise installed? Because something seems to clash with the two modifications.

i have vb optimise installed...I will disable it and update you on the situation.

Also, if you're feeling daring, you might want to try to use the PM reporting. I heard from someone in this thread that the PM reporting still functioned properly while vB Optimise was enabled.
