It's showing a localhost IP on the online list however the forums are on a webserver.

Do you have the "Scrutinize User's IP address?" option enabled? It allows users to spoof their IP address should they set the X-Forwarded-For header value themselves.

Do you have a reason to use it? Are you using CloudFlare or have a load balancer in front of your site?

I do not use Cloudflare and as for the second question I am not sure.

To be honest I don't even remember when I turned it on or why.
