Has anyone made, or would consider making a script that would search for the inputed IP and display all other posts made on that IP. This would be a dead handy tool. If you could search forums separately that would also be cool. Let me know what ya think.

How would that be helpful? IP address changes all the time for Dial-Up users.

Obviously the main reason would be to find people who register several usernames and spam the board. Sometimes they will slip up and post twice with the same IP, and also if you have a suspicion you can see if it's the same host etc.

I've got it working here: http://kinser.121host.net/v31sr4/search.asp
you enter the IP Address in the Search For box and then choose By IP Address in the Search In: dropdown box.
but, like with all other searches, it doesn't target the exact post, so you'll need to still look at the posts in the threads that the search finds to see if they match the IP Address.
Let me know if this is what you are looking for, and I'll post the code changes you'll need to make, or I can just provide the file already edited for download. |

Yeah that seems great m8. Although would you be able to add this as an admin only search. It would be swell if you could post the file so I could have a look at the code. I wanna try and get into asp and I guess the only way is by teaching yourself.
I happened to look at the way the normal getIP works. Could you not change the replyID to a variable and increment it then automatically do another getIP and repeat. Although this would only display the IP, there must be a way of displaying the User too.
Just some thoughts.
Thanx for your help My Kinser. :-)

I couldn't get it to work.
Basically I entered an IP that I knew existed and it came with No Matches Found.

Did you overwrite you current search.asp with this one, or did you rename this one to something like search2.asp ?
If the latter, then on line #230 of the modified search.asp you'll need to change the name there also:
<form action="search.asp?mode=DoIt" method="post">
if you named it search2.asp then you should change it to look like this:
<form action="search2.asp?mode=DoIt" method="post"> |
