Hey everyone, just wondering if you could help me out here. I really need to figure this out because no one can join my forum currently.

All of a sudden there is a problem with images being displayed on my forum. Certain members' avatars don't show (not all), and sometimes image attachments won't upload and will be just blank. But also the human verification image shows up as a red X (broken image) on the register page. If I turn off human verification, I'm instantly spammed with hundred of spambots joining.

Here is a couple screenshots of what's happening with the avatars. The first screenshot is from the 'members list' page. You can see where it shows two members' avatars, but the other is just text that says "insertusername's avatar." The other screenshot is from a post, and you can see it says the same under their name where the avatar normally would be, but this time it's a hyperlink, and directs to the member's profile.

Any idea what is going on here? I didn't change anything on my forum, it just started doing this one day. Could it be something that the webhost did?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks! :up:

What version of vBulletin are you running? What version of PHP is on the server?

3.8.4 & 5.4

Thanks

You need PHP 5.2/3 or to upgrade to 3.8.9

Ok, I switched it to 5.3, but there's no change. Is there anything else I need to do after changing it?

Thanks!

Use your browsers developer tools, look at the network panel and see what is going on with the images.

I've never used them before, but just tried it (using Firefox), but I really don't know what I'm looking for. Nothing sticks out to me.

You're being impacted by the PHP 5.4 change in GD.

Downgrade php to 5.3
Switch to ImageMagick, your webhost can tell you the binary path
Upgrade to 3.8.9, this is honestly your best bet, even if you have to pay to get a vb4 license. 3.8.4 has security issues and is on its last legs without PHP 5.4-6 support.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
