What this Modification does:
If you require unique email addresses, people can still use a Gmail account to register multiple times by placing .'s in the address or by using the @googlemail.com extension. vBulletin will see these as unique emails; however, they will go to the same email. This modification fixes that problem.
Installation:
Just import the product in your Admin CP.
Notes:
If you wish to customize the error message, the phrase is called "gmail_same_email" in the Phrase Manager. You must have the "Require Unique Email Addresses" option enabled for this modification to work.
Updates:
Version 1.01
- Modification now fixes the user+something@gmail.com problem.
What about e-mail addresses that are registered with a period to begin with? Are they blocked?
For example, my e-mail address is firstname.lastname@gmail.com. That's how I registered it when I signed up for the Gmail account. Therefore, that is not the same as FirstnameLastname@gmail.com. Would I be allowed to register with my e-mail address or not?

As long as any variation of the email address hasn't been registered, you will be able to register with that email. Even if it did entirely block emails with .'s in them (which it does not), you would still be able to register with FirstnameLastname@gmail.com and receive the email at your Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com email address.

But I think (maybe I am wrong) what Nick is asking is those 2 emails are not the same? Right? I registered my email the same way first.last@gmail.com so you are telling me firstlast@gmail.com is the same email address? So I can register with firstlast@gmail.com and that email will go to first.last@gmail.com? For some reason that doesn't seem right to me...

Doesn't seem to work properly to me. While it indeed blocks attempts to register using variations of the gmail account address, it also seems to randomly block gmail accounts which are certainly not registered in the forum as if they are already there. It doesn't happen with all of them and I can't see a pattern because it has happened with simple and complex addresses.
Any update on Jacobomoya's problem?
I've got this modification tagged and want to install it, but I won't install when it will give problems with authentic gmail accounts ofcourse.

Any ideas? Thanks.
