I don't know. Before the update, report were dorpping into Reports section. But after the update, it is gone. BTW, user links are also problematic:
//Template modification was disabled. I have enabled it.
Nope. Still does not work.
//Removed modifications form report_view template. Let's have a look.

Got it sorted. Looks like default disabled to view reports. Jeeez!

Liam Hi. Everything is sorted out but one last thing: Plugin does not create seperate reports for AE's of the AE's. Existing report is bumped but there is a problem: one of the users is the old merged/deleted one in the report. Does not show the new AE.
Try enabling the redeploy option, it should help catch AE's of AE. It should still only produce 1 report per pair.

Redeploy is already enabled. But this does not create a unique report for the AE of the AE. It just bumps the old report (only if it is permitted) and does not tell you the AE of the AE. Shows only the first AE.

I installed the update yesterday, and got a couple threads created by the alter ego detector user, that says "Alter ego detector is an alter ego!" of a certain other user of ours.... Gotta be an error. Nobody's actually ever logged in as the alter ego detector account before... it's just a dummy account

Did you rename the alter ego detector account after someone created it & logged in? And have you check it's last login date?
You can add the ignore dupe detection permission to the alter-ego detector aaccount and it should shut it up while allowing the detection system to keep working for all other pairs.

Suggestion - The ability to include the pair of names in the title. In the post message, {username1} & {username2} are okay, but the subject can only use {username}.
When you get a lot of these, being able to associate the pairs by skimming down the titles would be a lot faster.
Thanks.

Repost...
Suggestion: If the cookie registers more than two ID's on the computer, post them all on the AE report. Not separate posts for A-B, A-C, etc.. but A, B, C, D, E, F all included. It helps to link a group of puppet accounts.

Have you uploaded the files? Are you using an addon installer or similar?
I haven't had time to look into this yet. But detecting AE of AE's is a weakness of this addon in it's current form.
Ugh. Well simple solution is to not generate reports for the alter ego detection user.
But I'm more interested in understanding why it happens in the first place.
This is a good suggestion.
Putting all the usernames into the report title would quickly become problematic. Plus the addon really doesn't have enough information persisted to build that graph of linked users.
Already exists, search for "aedcheckips". This adds an IP check on login.
What needs to happen is to report how the Alter Ego was matched in the report/post.
