Custom name check in register.php / log IP of each visit?

Both work the same, you can omit the {} if there is only one statement following the IF condition, you just need it to mark a whole block of statements to be executed when the condition is met. I tried it with {} in case vBulletin interprets the code different to PHP, it took also ages for the page to load but finally my error was displayed. Then I removed the {} again, reloaded the page and it responded quickly with the error message. Very strange . But anyway thanks for your concern .
