There are no differences as this plug-in works with both 3.5 and 3.6 versions 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
1.0.0
-----
Initial release.

For some reason the plugin stopped creating new posts. Not sure why either. Anyone have the same problem? It still PMs us correctly but no new posts anymore.
BTW we were on 3.5.7 and upgraded to 3.6.8 and still the same problem occurs so I doubt this is a problem with my version unless it only worked on versions before 3.5.7
Other than that it works (for PMs at least) on 3.6.8
More than likely one of your other plugins may be interfering with this one. It's a solid product that has worked for a long time without needing any updates, I can't tell you why it doesn't work for you, but code is code and as long as nothing is interfering with it - it works.

Mine stopped when I went to 3.6.7.
No new plugins added. Same ones I have been running for a long time.
All I was doing was updating as I went.
I have two boards and it isn't working on either one.

This is true but:

It happened also the same thing to me.
Any way... This mod was one from the most "useful forum tools" but never mind...
If you could find a solution, it would be very much appreciated.
