I'm having some issue with spam signups. Is there  any way to add reCAPTCHA to the registration page? Or is there anything else I can do to mitigate this problem?

Also is there any way to set up the forum to notify me when new users register?

Hi mdice1989,

wpForo is not compatible with CAPTCHA plugins yet, we're currently working on this. But you can use antispam plugins which control user registration.

Robert thank you for your response. Do you have any recommendations for a specific plugin that will work well with your forums? I'm a first time WordPress user.

I don't have an exact recommendations for Anti-spam plugins, you should read reviews and check the popularity.
