I've searched and searched and searched but I can't figure out how vB checks for IP/email bans. Where are the banned IPs/emails stored at? They're not in the normal ban table. Can anyone help?

The question I have is why would you want to know that?

It might do it through htaccess. We have a really weird way of doing it here, so I don't know for sure.

say you have a table of ip bans
when sombody loads a page run a qwuery to check if there ip is in it
if so send them to the banned page or somthing.

There is a userban table, but it doesn't store ip's, juse usernames and group names.

Yeah, I searched the table. I noticed that which led me to ask here. I'm integrating the phpBB admin panel in and for the session management I need to check IPs. If vB can't IP ban then i'll have to mod it too, but i'm sure it can because I know of a few people who have been IP banned.

28, could you tell me how you guys do IP bans? :D

In the admincp go to vbulletin options and then to user banning options. You can ban ips there.
