the images are in the right folder

I've tried just about everything
GD is enabled
I've tried reconfiguring the htaccess / Extra user verification in the plugin manager like stated in another previous post
also the image_verification template to reflect 'board/images/verification....' instead of 'images/verification....'

That is very strange, in view of the fact you already have it installed on another forum - I really don't know what to suggest as you've gone through the basic fault detection, and it should be working fine ... PM me if you want me to investigate further.

Do I still need to run the captcha image thingie at registration (such a frustrating process for some people). - I have already added a question and answer as part of registration, so will these surfice?

Brilliant though. Thanks

That is entirely your choice, if by chance a bot managed to get past this, it would be a lot easier for them to complete the sign up with captcha disabled, but in all honesty, the bots were designed to beat captcha anyway so I don't think it would make much different either way.

The one thing I will say is, since this has been release and I've had it installed I have have NO spam sign ups whatsoever, so it must be working in the right direction.

We were getting about 200 junk sign-ups per month, making it very difficult to find the real sign-ups. It's been well over a month since I installed this add-on and we haven't gotten a single junk sign-up since. Thanks for such a clever and effective modification!!!

Ok, I am running vBulletin Version 3.6.8 most recent and seems to be working overall great. The only thing that I have found is that when a users clicks on the wrong image and is sent to the message " I'm sorry, you have selected the wrong image, please go back and try again. " and then hits the back link it will give them new image choices to click, but the word underneath them does not match all the time. Any idea's to make sure that the "hint" word will match the images all the time?

the system works fine on vbadvanced and six images ........yes ok

i was getting at least 15 a day now for now its ceased !

basilrath 01-05-2008 01:25 AM

still works no prblem however if the site is openend "within" another site ie like an i frame etc it wont show the images which i agree is not going to happen often but does nevertheless............can be rectified by an easy explanation to guests registering via

Languages and Phrase>Search in Phrases>

type in.......Please click the image above that is

Then change or copy this in

<font color="red"><b>If the images do not show open the site in your browser</font><br /><br />

Please click the image above that is<br />

This will explain (in red) and make the whole text obviously bold and better to see.

Sorry if this is a pain Steadicamop............

I've been out of the loop for a month or so - will sit down later on and go back through the posts and see what needs my attention - I will remake the product file for basilrath's suggestion and attach it to my post.

Is there a way to set this up to work for unregistered posters as well?
