From past experience Imagemagick is a little of a rarity towards image processing - the GD libraries are usually built into PHP so hence why this was written with that in mind - but I am checking out the liklihood of adding that function and make it an AdminCP option.

If you PM your site details and include as much info as possible about what the forum root and server root should be I will take a look into it.

This does not work under 3.6.7 PL1 running on a Apache Server being viewed on a Linux Computer using Firefox.

Thanks, just what I needed to know. This is an important mod, it should be one of the choices in the default vB setup in the release candidates and final version in my opinion. I might implement it on my forum with the necessary fixes and a few changes, i.e. random numbers or a hash generated associated with each image which would make even guessing impossible by bots written by people exploiting the fact they have a one in five chance of getting past that prompt simply by trying "1" through "5" and attacking the forum multiple times in a row.

I'm in the midst of doing other things, so this might be awhile. If anyone out there, including this mod author, is willing to take this up sooner - go for it.

I'm pretty new to this but trying to catch on quickly. I want to use this and the secure contact us on our site but want to ask this first. Will I need to make any modifications to my style if I am not using the default VB style? Additionally, I noticed that your demo uses 6 images, which I like, but the install uses 4. I see in the code where that change is made but since it is your code, I ask before I cahnge... I would prefer to have 6 like your demo uses. Do I need your permission and do you see any problem with changing it to 6?

Thanks in advance...

I'm looking into moving away from using this image based version and using a flash version which should be (hopefully) impossible for bots to get past as it would require a click within the flash area and not a link - this is taking some time though as I don't understand Flash and I need to figure out how to pass the variable to PHP (if anyone can help please PM me!) - I understand as it is, it can be defeated by repeatedly clicking, but it's working well for me and other members here.

Nope it's fine - feel free to change it to any number you prefer and it uses existing styles - so will match for each without and style customisations.

when clicking on the show.php? file

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in public_html/forums/images/verification/show.php on line 21

It's been several months for us using this hack. This has to be the best hack I've come across and I've got quite a few installed. This one has saved us a lot of headaches. We were getting hammered with spam and had tried nearly everything else out there... nothing was working.

This plugin works great!

Thank you Jason!

I installed it also times into my forum.
I had the side once seen thereafter, not again.
As it can be which I the pictures only once sees.
I must activate that or somewhere still so.

I have 3.6.7
