Regarding your signature:

"i have been contacted 500 times before by vbulletin-fr.com staff members; the answer after 2 years is still: NO ( YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO TRANSLATE MY WORK : STOP BOTHERING ME )"

If everyone writing hacks takes the time to learn about a use the phrasing system, doesn't this become a non-issue?

Essentially, all one needs to do is translate the messages a hack generates within te phrasing system, leaving the hack itself alone.

Nice hack, floris.

Very usefull hack, now all we need is for the banning option to use the real IP rather than the proxy IP and we are sorted. This way a banned user won't be able to jump from proxy to proxy to avoid the ban. Still won't stop people on dynamic IP's but that's when abuse@isp comes in handy :D

If you ban a user, you ban their account, not their IP address.
You have to manually add their IP address into the user banning options ; options from vb options from the admin control panel in order to have that effect.

lol! you're right, that DOES come in handy!

good hack man, I'll definetily be using this one

Ok let me rephrase it. Without the hack you just get to see the proxy IP. You then put that IP into the user banning options and the user moves on to a new proxy and can still access the site. Now I'm assuming that your hack allows us to see both the proxy IP and the real IP. So now we have the real IP and can put it in the user banning options BUT when the user connects to the site vB is looking at the proxy IP not the real IP so even though you have banned their real IP they can still access the site, open a new account and continue to be a pain.

As well as the admin being able to view the IP and Alt IP, it would be even more usefull if the user banning options could use the real IP instead of (or as well as) the proxy IP. That way when you ban a users real IP he can't jump on to a new proxy and open a new account. This is a mod I have been desperate for for a very long time. If your mod does also extend to the user banning options then I will be willing to have your babies (figuratively speaking :D)
