Get rid of pre and use paragraph tags instead. Like so:

<?php

$infodate = date('l jS \of M. Y');

echo "<p>We are <b>$display_members</b> members strong<br />\n";

if($auth['displayname'] == "")
{
    echo "</font>Welcome <font size=\"3\" face=\"Times\"><strong>Guest</strong> please <a href=\"register.php\">Register</a>\n";
}
else
{
    echo "you are logged in as <strong>".$auth['displayname']."</strong>";
}

echo "</p>\n";

?>
