AdminCP -> vBulletin Options - > User Banning Options -> Banned IP Addresses.

Additionally, you might want to check out the Miserable Users Hack, as well as the Multi Login Detector.

3) Looks like someone's having fun with your home PC, unless you're using the same exact login everywhere. The first thing you should do is change all of your passwords, and make them unique so that whoever edited your post here can't do it again.

As far as the couple of hoops to jump through to be able to post here, you'll come to find them well worth it. The coders here put a LOT of time and effort into the development of the hacks/mods here. One thing that it does is protect them (as much as can be) from pirated vBulletin users downloading and using their hard work on boards that they didn't buy a license for.
Thank you Chris for your kind reply. I installed the miserable users hack. not sure I really understand it yet but I guess it will take time. what exactly will it do? as for the multi log in I dont know if that is a problem or not. I have 2 handles on my own board and need to be logged into them at the same time so I dont want to keep my own self off my board! LOL. I have a reg handle and then of course the admin handle. plus it didnt seem easy to install sometimes these things take a few times to look at before getting.

I assure you I have a license. I am not a scammer. I was refered here cause the bulletin team couldnt answer all my help questions. I really look forward to getting to know some computer whiz folks. Thanks again for all your kind help.
