Does anyone have any idea as to why a new members IP no longer shows when they register? This has now been going on since March  Due to this happening, we are getting lots of spammers and are no longer able to ban their IP's as obviously they don't show!

Also, due to a new members IP not showing, it no longer shows as a new member on the forum stats! We have had 6 new members register in the last couple of days, but it shows 0 on the stats. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated 

This is how it shows when someone registers now....

I wondered if this was you that had registered  Yours is the only IP that has shown up since March! It is baffling me 

Are any of them real members?

why they shouldn't be real ?
