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.

Hi,
I am on VB 3.7 version. This hack was working fine and then it stopped working all of a sudden. I have removed and re-installed but to no avail. After reading some past posts, it seems like several others have had this issue, but I couldn't find any resolution posted. Does anyone know how to fix this??
TIA!
Hi guys,
I found some mistakes in this MOD, some users detect wrong! each one from a different place!
I think there is some mistakes in the Cookies!!
any suggestion?!
thanks
How do you know it's stopped working? Maybe that will give a clue to the problem.
It used to create a thread in a forum indicating the users that are logging in from the same machine, and it stopped doing that all of a sudden. After re-installation didn't work, I tried changing some of the settings like clearing out the "Ignore usergroup ids and user ids" and also changed the forum id so that it could post the thread to another forum. Nothing worked!
