Well, I'm fairly sure that the file permissions are correct, maybe you could take a look at this thread and see if i missed something.

That isnt much help, as i suggested, thats a perms issue, not a path issue.

Just because its 755, dont mean the user ownership is correct.

So what are the permissions exactly suppose to be then. I have changed to the webserver user instead of root no difference....

Also I'm not sure if you caught this but the screwy css is only heppening on the adminpanel.... with firefox or IE

I would suggest again that you check your apache logs.

When you upgraded, did you revert the templates dealing with registration? I believe the variable for the image verification changed names, so if you are using an old template, it won't show.

hmmmmm, I think thats the problem. Looks like I'm using the old one.

looks like the variable changed from $imagereg to $human_verify

i tried switching the variable to the new one. And it WORKS!

Mucho Thanks Lynne! You Rock!

Glad that fixed it!
