Duplicate IP tracking v1.2 by Jolten
Be gentle, this is my first release.
What's this do?
This hack is an admin control panel addition. It will render a complete list of all users with duplicate IP addresses in your forums. And adds very little in terms of queries and sever load. This is designed to help those site admins, who wish to, to track users which may have duplicate accounts.
Be aware that many internet service providers (AOL, JUNO, NetZero) may assign the same IP to many different users. A duplicate listing is not an immediate indication of a duplicate account by the same user.

Support
I can't promise full support but I will do all I can to fix any bugs or answer all questions. All support must be done strictly through this thread. If you are using this hack, please click the INSTALL button to be informed of any future updates, add-ons and bug fixes.
Enjoy!
Screenshot Below
It should be noted (since the screenshot doesn't show it due to my censorship of the names) that the list of usernames links directly to the adminCP user options for that user, allowing easy access to the users information.

Anyway to also show email addresses in that list? Even tho I don't allow users to use the same email address for multiple accounts typically if they are the type trying to squeeze by their email addresses are also similar.

Sure I'll update tomorrow. Be aware that I will not track duplicate email addresses. Since vBulletin already allows you to limit registration to one email address per user there's no benefit in adding weight to my script to track duplicate email addresses. But I will add an email address column to display email addresses of users with duplicate IP addresses. This will only add a couple lines of code and won't cause any additional queries.

Look for it tomorrow.
Great. Thanks. I agree there's no reason to track duplicates.. I already have that set in my admin anyway... just nice to be able to compare for similar ones.
Could you consider using a smaller font for the dupe IP display now that more information was added (email addresses)?
Also, there was a hack in vB2 that displayed dupe IP's and also displayed whether each member listed could post or not. It was a good indicator to see those that are already banned. Maybe just display the usergroup for each member listed?
Wow... this doesn't work on 3.07 at all. It shows the same IP for tons of my members. People that I know don't even live near eachother.
Wait, looks like many of my AOL members have the same IP address... That's really stupid and annoying of AOL.. yet another reason I totally hate them..
Ok it is probably just AOLers with screwed up IP addesses that will be a problem here. Anyone else notice this???
It's posted in the modification announcement that some service providers like AOL will assign duplicate IPs. There's nothing that can be done. This works fine in vb3.0.7.
