ipInfo is a replacement for the standard 'view users ip' option in
vBulletin. Normally when you click on the view ip button in a user's post
you'll only see his or hers ip address and host name.
With ipInfo you'll get more information. Besides the ip address and host
name you will also see what other users have posted with the same ip
address. That feature can be really good for spotting clones.
Another thing ipInfo will show you is what other ips this user has posted
with and how many times. Could be useful when you want to ban all of the
ips of a user and not just the one of that post.
1.2
- added option to limit how far back to get posts.
1.1
- Added option If the user that posts is a guest use the old standard VB IP info page.
- To upgrade replace postbit_ip template with new code.

Thanks for the great hack, one question though, would it be very difficult to use geotargeting, or tracking, to automatically determine the physical location of the IP address, sort of like a IP or DNS reversal? I had a situation on my boards where we were banning allot of people, it took a while before we realized they were all from India and this would have made the process much much quicker.
This will tell the Host name - look @ image.
cpe-xx.xxx.xx.xx.socal.res.rr.com
S. California - socal
Roadrunner - rr
You can always do "tracert" on the IP to find where it is.

Thanks, you know, I never really realized that socal was south california, and I assume res is residential, and rr is roadrunner.... well with that said this is perfect, thanks!
