Upgraded to vb 3.7.2 and Image Verification is gone

[gatorenvy]

My forum was just upgraded to vb 3.7.2 PL1, but now my image verification during registration is gone. I'm getting tons of spam sign ups.

When I go to admincp --> vb options --> Human Verification Options
there is nothing in there about turning on/off the image captcha verification thing.

Same when I go to admincp --> vb options --> User Registration Options

Can someone please guide me in the right direction?

The top drop-down on the Human Verification page allows you to turn it off (disabled). You might want to set it to disabled, save, and then set it back to image verification (or rCaptcha) and save. See if that fixes the issue.

To enable Freetype 2 support (assuming that the server has the Freetype 2 libraries installed), this part of the configure string neeeds to be removed and replaced with (normally) --with-freetype-dir=/usr

To find out if a Linux server has Freetype 2 support, run locate freetype2 at the command line and look for some results, usually in /usr/include/freetype2.
