New Usergroup Option: Escape IP ban check 1.0

New Usergroup Option: Escape IP ban check [vB 2.x.x]

------------------------------------------------------>
What is this hack?
~ The solution to all of your problems!
Ever banned an IP address of a banned
member, only to find that a fellow member
or even moderator/administrator is banned too!
This happens because they may be in the same
IP range!
~ This hack will fix this problem for you, it will
add an option to the usergroup options page
in the adminCP.
~ This option is a yes // no button which, when set
to yes means that that usergroup will bypass
the IP ban check, so even if their IP is banned, they
will suffer no consequences!
------------------------------------------------------>

------------------------------------------------------>
What does it require me to do?
~ Run 1 query.
~ Make 5 file modifications to [admin/usergroup.php].
~ Make 1 file modification to [global.php].
~ Update the options of your usergroups, setting either
yes or no for the IP bypass.
NOTE: After installing this hack, all usergroups are NOT
bypassed from the IP ban check. If you wish to allow
a usergroup to bypass the IP ban check and its
consequences, you must go to that usergroup's option
page and configure it so they can!

Another sweet hack N9ne . You're definitely on a roll - most of the hacks released recently are yours .

I'll install when my new board is operational. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Intex. I think this is my 23rd hack, but it's not my fault I keep getting ideas

Another hack will be released tonight by me, it's a simpler hack, yet convenient.
