Multiple Account Detection & Prevention 1.1.3
Created by Kiros (Kiros72 on vBulletin.org)
---------------------------------------------
* INSTALLATION / UPGRADE *
------------------------------
When upgrading, switch steps 1 and 2 (it's safer that way).
1) Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum's root.
(If your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)
2) Import the product XML file (product-kiros_madp.xml) into the Product Manager within your AdminCP.
(When upgrading, always make sure that Allow Overwrite is set to yes!)
3) Take 60 seconds to set some options in the Multiple Account Detection & Prevention Options.
(It's really not that hard... There are two sections, so look around and set them!)
4) Make sure this modification is marked as 'Installed' on vBulletin.org!
(If you want to get notices from me about updates for this modification.)
* General Information *
------------------------------
This is a modification that is designed for vBulletin 3.7.x. It might work on other versions of vBulletin,
but I did not test it on any older or newer versions. Inspiration for this modification came from the work
of MPDev (creator of the Multiple Account Login Detector) and randominity (creator of the Multiple Account
Registration Prevention). This modification is basically a combination of those two modifications but with
new and improved functionality. Multiple Account Detection & Prevention utilizes phrasing and includes help
topics for the AdminCP options.
If you have the "Multiple Account Login Detector (AE Detector)" or "Multiple Account Registration Prevention"
installed, you should definitely uninstall them before installing this modfication.
