heh. just missing something in the code. for the postbit_ip template

this code

<if condition="$show['ip']">
   	$vbphrase[ip]: $post[ip]
   <else />
 	<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title=" IP: $post[ip] 
    Alt IP: $post[altip] 
    Agent: $post[useragent] " border="0" />
   </if>

is missing a </a>

should be

<if condition="$show['ip']">
   	$vbphrase[ip]: $post[ip]
   <else />
 	<a href="postings.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getip&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" title=" IP: $post[ip] 
    Alt IP: $post[altip] 
    Agent: $post[useragent] " border="0" /></a>
   </if>

Nothing major, just cased the Img to have an underline underneath it.

cheers floris ,
how about getting this for WOL too ?

I've recently had a few trolls using a college proxy, your hack helped me catch them !

[Aurous]

Is it possible to store the ALT IP when user logs in? That way I will have the ALT IP of all users even if they dont post a message. Can someone please direct me on how to work around with this?

[ZeroZone]

Could you please add an option in the "Search IP Address" that allows admins search for ALT IP?

[Jujimufu]

Whoo, I guess I am good at following instructions / The hack works great! Thanks a lot Floris.

Not doing anything for the anonymizer. Lists it as a regular IP.

Absolutely flawless install on 3.0.1.

Easy to follow instructions, not one 'line not found error' in Editplus.

/me clicks install

We have a troll jumping from proxy to proxy. We know it is him because he creates new accounts and the username always has a sig string in it. I see how this hack could help people who are using unrelated names for new accounts. But we know who our guy is. We can't just keep banning proxy ip's. I already tried miserable user on him. He just (I assume) deleted his cookies and created another new account. Banning free email addies is not an option. Any ideas?

Adding a field to the post table. Expensive. I wish there was another way to do this.

It work! Thanks!
