ipInfo -- Extra user IP information

Old VB 3.x can be found here

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.

Well the best way is to disable the product Use real ip when proxy server is detected and check to see if its working then

If it is then remove it

ok I dont have any other IP related hacks on my 3.5.4 board and this doesn't work but it works on my 3.5.3 board. What gives?

[Jordan17]

/me clicks Install! Thanks!

[geezmo]

What other way do I have to uninstall this hack aside from choosing "Uninstall" in Product Manager? I'm having problems with my hacks, I can't uninstall all of them, I only get blank space after uninstalling a hack but the hack's still there.

If you can tell me other ways to fully uninstall this hack, I'll appreciate it.

It should give you a DB error. The day limit is needed (at the moment). Under a large load (500k+ posts over years) it has been reported to crash the server with out a limiter. I have not had any problems reported @ 120-180 days depending on site activity.

[kurtbarker]

When I installed it, that field was empty, and it showed no data, like it was set at 0 days

[Dr.Viggy]

worked beautifully, this will definitely help watch for the troublemakers. thanks alot

*clicks install

[Neal-UK]

will this work along with "Real IP if using proxy" mod?

[bruss]

any way to run a guest post againt any registered users? I dont want to see every guest post but it would be cool to see if any registered users have posted under that specific IP that specific guest post was made under..

[EasyTarget]

thanks, Installed.
