Proxy

[Ronald0]

Well as i have been searching in the inter web among vbulletin and web hosters, im wondering if it is possible to block proxies of any kind from vbulletin software itself or even a web host.

Please reply.

Also anyone know how to put a strike or a line through a users name if they get banned?

Hi Ronald0

Not sure about the proxy blocker, but to put a strikethrough a banned users name you need to go to your admin cp and into the usergroup manager, and in the Username HTML Markup, first box add something like this

<span style="color:RED" title="Banned"><b><del>

and in the second box

</del></b></span>

This will make your the banned user Turn Red, Bold and with a strikethrough like this

The <s> and <strike> elements were deprecated in HTML 4.01, and are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

The <del> tag is supported in all major browsers.

Alright thanks, ill do that now.

Still looking for information on proxy blocker and stuff.

Your best bet is to find a list of IPs that are used by proxies and ban them by that.

Na that wont, work you know there are more proxies in the world then there are actually IP's. That is highly impossible to stop someone just banning a bunch of proxies.
