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.

How come there is no image? All I see is a tiny "_" hyperlinked next to infraction button in postbit legacy.

The image is located @ /images/buttons/ip.gif it is a default image in vBulletin.

If you are using a custom style for your site make sure you have that image where your new style keeps it's buttons.

4.2 is working.

however, the reason I wanted it is to track guests. I let guests post on my forum. this mod only works for registered users. how can I included unregistered in the mod?
