Image Verification not showing on Registration! GD

[mandogon]

Hello there,

I've always had a image verification for the registration process on my forum. Im not quite sure when it dissappered, or what happened exactly, but I suspect that it disappeared when I did the last update to vbulletin. In the last week or so, I've had 10 to 20 bots registering a day.

I'm using GD for the image verification, and according to the phpinfo, the gd is working correctly. I have included a screenshot of the phpinfo for the gd settings and also a screenshot of the image options for vbulletin.

Any help would be great!

-Thanks in Advance

What version vB are you using? How about a link to the site?

[mandogon]

I am currently using the latest release vBulletin 3.7.3 Patch Level 1

and I have this problem on both of my sites

disputeclaims.org
cctvhelp.com

Do images show up under vboptions > human verification manager > image verification options?

Also, you must have FreeType 2 support. That is probably the problem and you should ask your host to upgrade this for you.

Yes it shows in the Human Verification manager here is a screenshot below.

Also I dont have a host, we run the server in the back

also noteworthy in the phpinfo screenshot, it says the freetype is enabled

From the looks of your admincp style, looks like u have some server issues anyways, all white like that and layout being messed up, you check your user perms lately?

You saving styles as a file?

<i>I've had the backend problems for ever.... for some reason it does'nt show correctly except on the google chrome browser.

I've made several threads concerning it, but never came to a solution that worked so I gave up, plus it still worked/works correctly... just no css =(.</i>

user permissions are unchanged

[snakes1100]

Yea, looks like u have some incorrect settings in either apache or the way ur user perms/ownership are setup, that should be a easy fix, just have to find were u have it config'd incorrectly, which might also be the issue as to why the image isnt working correctly, but that would require some log viewing.

[mandogon]

While that does make some sense, my backend has always been messed up, and my registration with the capthca has always worked.

I have'nt changed apache settings and the only files that could have been changed would have been with a update of vbulletin... and vbulletin doesn't change any apache files

[snakes1100]

No one ever claimed vbulletin updates would change an apache setting, as i stated that is only a guess, but with your style issue, that looks to be a perm issue, but then again im not logged into your server to diagnose the issue itself, if you have perms issues i would verify that the file updates when you upgraded actually overwrote the old files.
