ipInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.

With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.

Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.

Great! I'll test it out now.

EDIT: works great!

best of all, and quite easy to install for a complete IP report...!!!

Yes Sir, the extra info does help root out trouble makers.

:cool:

Nice one. Would it be possible to show users that share any of the additional IP addresses?

Great hack!

Works great, very helpful for rooting out trolls with multiple accounts.

Ill take a look.

Thanks for the great hack, one question though, would it be very difficult to use geotargeting, or tracking, to automatically determine the physical location of the IP address, sort of like a IP or DNS reversal? I had a situation on my boards where we were banning allot of people, it took a while before we realized they were all from India and this would have made the process much much quicker.

It's great to see the return of this! Thanks so much!
