I took a screencap of my settings, not only to answer your question but hopefully to help people having trouble getting the thing to create a thread too.

The reason the PMs weren't working was simple enough - the default setting for the "Users who recieve the PM upon multiple login detection" is "Administrator" and my username on my forum isn't "Administrator", its Sparky! So I just changed that.

As for the thread creation, you have to mark "Enable New Thread Creation on Multiple Login Detection?" - Yes, and then put in the correct "ForumID For AE Multiple Login Detection reports", AND set the "Userid of who PM sender / Alert poster" to someone who has permission to post in that forum - 1 being of course myself (the target forum is a Staff forum). For the users to ignore, I have myself and my test account, which is number 2.

I hope this helps *somebody*. :P
