Ok, I see what I need to do based on where I am at. Am looking at the function verify_ip_ban() in functions.php and this looks to be a simple fix but am still shaky on flow/execution control with .php and where I should be at next.

If the logging IP (from work) is listed 1'st in my banning list & I get a match I want to automatically log that user as user#8(forumid = 8?). User8 has already been assigned to a special usegroup with special, restricted permissions.

Can I Just Return to global.php and this will do the trick??

Can I 'break' from a 'foreach'??

I Guess I Need To get a test server going huh??

function verify_ip_ban()
{
	global $vbulletin;

	$vbulletin->options['banip'] = trim($vbulletin->options['banip']);
	if ($vbulletin->options['enablebanning'] == 1 AND $vbulletin->options['banip'])
	{
		$addresses = explode(' ', preg_replace("/[[:space:]]+/", " ", $vbulletin->options['banip']) );
		$myIPposition = 0;  ->MYADD
		foreach ($addresses AS $val)
		{
			if (strpos(' ' . IPADDRESS, ' ' . trim($val)) !== false)
			{
				if ($myIPposition++ == 1);   ->MYADD
				{
					$vbulletin->forumid = 8;    ->MYADD
					break;              ->MYADD
				}
				else
				{
					eval(standard_error(fetch_error('banip', $vbulletin->options['contactuslink'])));
				}
			}
		}
	}
