Installed v1.1.1 of your mod on v3.67pl1 and it went smoothly....

Checked options and decided to turn "Silent Mode" ON for now, until I understand how the mod works better. So, I'll just read reports for a bit before turning if OFF....

BTW, you have some of the most thorough and well documented instructions, plus on-line "?" help by field assistance I've ever seen in any mod. Thank you for that. :up:

I already have over 6,000 members and we get about 1,100 logging in every 24 hours. Because we are a "collectors" oriented web site, we get a lot of father, son, wife type members with different user names, yet they all use the SAME computer, so at this point I'm trying to be safe than sorry and not screw up their access. I guess I need to go through the members list and find those folks, adding them to the "ignored users" list by individual ID?

Finally, I left the following OFF because that was your default setting, plus I'm not sure I fully understand the impact of turning them ON yet, but I'll work on that...



Looks like a great mod... appreciate your efforts ... :up:

I hope it works well with my v3,67pl1 as I have far too much customization to upgrade at this point.

Regards,
Doug (Badger)
Thank you for the complements

I would like to point out that if you have "Silent Mode" enabled, you will not get any reports. That's what is silent about it. If you want to get these reports of multiple accounts, turn "Silent Mode" off.

Since your site has numerous families in the community, I suggest creating some Usergroup ("Family Members") and adding this group to known family members as a Secondary Usergroup. Then you can add this Usergroup ID to the ignore list.

In a nutshell, there are IP address options because some members may clear their cookies or use a different browser in order to register another account. Without the IP address checks, a user could get away with this, but with the checks, they have far less of a chance unless they go weeks without logging in or have a very dynamic IP address.

Good luck, and please let me know if my modification works well on your vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1 board

Edit:

My bad. "Silent Mode" will only send reports rather than taking action. Thank you for bringing that up in an email
