You're looking for the absolute server path to your forums' root directory. So in your example, if you're running on a linux server then a possiblity could be '/home/xxx/public_html/xxx/forum/font.ttf'. On Windows, it might be something like: "c://htdocs//users//xxx//xxx//forum//font.ttf'. I can't tell you for sure though, your best bet would be inquiring your host.

The only question I have is what kind of service would somebody be using that is processing an automated registration for one's forum? This is just a generic question, as I've wondered the same for those Lycos/Yahoo sites. I'm guessing some kind of bot, although the chances of one doing so on a vBulletin seems less likely.

I'ts very easy to set up a bot that can process a form repeatedly and automatically. I obviously won't give out details as to how, but it is very possible and potentially damaging to the server if it does that frequently enough. The person that I wrote the hack for actually got 10,000+ fake registrations in under a day.

If it isn't in phpinfo, then it likely isn't installed. I aplogize. I'll work on a text only version workaround, although it isn't nearly as secure.

Thanks for releasing!
I'll definately install this if possible hehehe.
Mind you I dunno if (and doubt) lycos runs the requirements for this.
Still worth a try though.
Dave.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure that Lycos won't run the gd. Again, keep an eye out for the text version workaround, which I'll figure out and include in my next post
