A very useful feature in the admin area that I tested some times ago was an IP control panel that allows admin, for example, to make searches in the post and topic database to find
1. All IP used to post of a selected user 2. All users that posted with a selected IP 3. More.. (now I don't remember) This feature is very useful in particolar if admin wants to check fake users or to execute a checking for a particolar reason (for example banning) that involves IP and users informations. Do you think it may be a nice feature to be added in a next version?

i like that idea i built the "all users that posted with a selected ip" my self this is becose i run a rap battle site and i cant allow users to have more than one account as they can vote for them selfs, or just get rid of there battle score by makin and battlin under a new name and resently i had a user repeatedly create new accounts - so i built a 'show all users who used *** ip' but the all ips used by a certen user sounds good, i may add that too ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

@Scotty_32
About your need, I also suggest you an other feature. Create a simple script that store in a cookie the nick of the last N (where N is a numerical value) users logged in with that PC. During login execution you can check the cookie and if the user is different between cookie value send you a message. It's a simply way to track unique and fake users. 
Logically a PC could be shared between more than one user, but it can anyway allows you to better monitorize the unique account.
