There are no differences as this plug-in works with the 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7 releases of vBulletin.
If you are like me and migrated from .threads, a common modification was an "AE detector", a simple mod that saved a cookie of a history of ids logged into on your site. If someone logged into more than one account, you got a PM letting you know that your site was being accessed from multiple accounts.
Over the years this was very helpful in identifying users who were posting under multiple accounts (alter-egos!) and users who would return after being banned.
You might be wondering why I don't use the vbcookie call - well, thats because on logout all vB cookies are cleared, so we need to store a cookie that is not effected by the login/logout process.
New Installation
1. Add New Product with attached XML
2. Go to vBulletin Options -> AE Multiple Login Detection Settings and set your specific settings.
Time to install: Easy - 2 minutes.
Upgrade
If you installed this as a Plug-in manually, you can delete that plugin and install this Product, just make sure to go into the Options and set them accordingly.
I hope you find this useful and will click INSTALL if you use it; should it prove useful to enough people I can look at making this installation more automated without the need for edits and an Admin Options page.
To upgrade you will want to reimport this XML file and edit your options accordingly.
1.0.3
-----
. Added a check to ensure that users weren't deleted when reporting violations
. added htmlspecialchars_uni call to username
Note: I am unable to get the call to construct_phrase with $vbphrase['multiplelogin_alert'] to work reliably, as such the $message variable is still set manually inside the plug-in and not via the phrase. If anyone has an idea of why this might not always work, I'm all ears.
1.0.2
-----
. Updated to include exclusion groups, users
. Changed so PM is sent by ae sender id
1.0.1
-----
. Released as a Product (thank you PHPGeek2k3 for your help)
. Added option to post to a forum versus send a PM (or both)
. All settings moved into Admin Option

Okay, I'll bite. Why are your users obsessed with creating multiple accounts? Are you giving away money or something? Many people find it hard enough to keep track of oneaccount.

When is this coming for 3.7.4!
This mod has little to do with VB versions; it should work fine in 374. Are you having some specific trouble?

Some neat little Patches for german adult players.
Called "Bloodpatches". I don't know why they want so much accounts, since anyone can download, but they love to do it and I hate them to do so ^^
I may not be understanding something about how it is supposed to work - But.... My experience is it is a buggy mod. I don't trust it. I do have it installed but it has given what I believe have to have been false positives. On the other hand it has flagged a few definite 'multiple personalities' on my forum.
