There are no differences as this plug-in works with both 3.5 and 3.6 versions of vBulletin.
If you are like me and migrated from .threads, a common modification was an "AE detector", a simple mod that saved a cookie of a history of ids logged into on your site. If someone logged into more than one account, you got a PM letting you know that your site was being accessed from multiple accounts.
Over the years this was very helpful in identifying users who were posting under multiple accounts (alter-egos!) and users who would return after being banned.
You might be wondering why I don't use the vbcookie call - well, thats because on logout all vB cookies are cleared, so we need to store a cookie that is not effected by the login/logout process.
New Installation
1. Add New Product with attached XML
2. Go to vBulletin Options -> AE Multiple Login Detection Settings and set your specific settings.
Time to install: Easy - 2 minutes.
Upgrade
If you installed this as a Plug-in manually, you can delete that plugin and install this Product, just make sure to go into the Options and set them accordingly.
I hope you find this useful and will click INSTALL if you use it; should it prove useful to enough people I can look at making this installation more automated without the need for edits and an Admin Options page.
To upgrade you will want to reimport this XML file and edit your options accordingly.
1.0.3
-----
. Added a check to ensure that users weren't deleted when reporting violations
. added htmlspecialchars_uni call to username
Note: I am unable to get the call to construct_phrase with $vbphrase['multiplelogin_alert'] to work reliably, as such the $message variable is still set manually inside the plug-in and not via the phrase. If anyone has an idea of why this might not always work, I'm all ears.
1.0.2
-----
. Updated to include exclusion groups, users
. Changed so PM is sent by ae sender id
1.0.1
-----
. Released as a Product (thank you PHPGeek2k3 for your help)
. Added option to post to a forum versus send a PM (or both)
. All settings moved into Admin Option
1.0.0
-----
Initial release.

Does anyone know whatever happened to the version being worked on by mfyvie he doesn't show as having any activity since May of 08. Thx for the info...I'm getting way to many false positives...ppl I personally know like 1 block from house are being matched with ppl I know that I know are in other countries...as in I've met them face to face and know they are completely different ppl not using the same computer. Anyways the other one looks good, and btw as far as other mods causing the prob, I uninstalled all but this one and still got the false positives...so its not that
We use this mod a LOT to "catch" people re-registering after they've been banned.
With the latest news that VB4 probably won't support existing mods we'd be really keen on finding out if this will be updated for VB4 (and paying for it if necessary).
I need to know if something is possible. Can member x send member y a link (via email or facebook) and the AE Detector trip showing member 1 and member 2 logging in from the same computer? We have this situation at our forum. Member 1 was sharing a link to one of the threads and when member 2 clicked on that link, it tripped the AE Detection. I thought that member 1 was logging in using member 2's login information, but member 2 swears that he logged in via this link and never shared his login info. Possible or not?
