Banned users show up on forumhome

[el_rob]

Hi

I have a group of users, who's accounts I want deactivated for the time, until they have payed their membership fee. To achieve this, I put all these users in to the "Banned Users" usergroup.

However in the statistics of the forumhome page, the user count still includes these people, and as newest user a person is shown, who is actually on the ban list.

Is there any way to make vBulletin ignore the users in the banned group?

Thanks, Rob.
