New user can't register...

Post by moose42 »

A new user can't register because the anti-bot code is not appearing for him.

I tried it myself and I can't see the picture either.

Is something wrong with registration?

Thanks.

The recent upgrade, also updated the captcha mechanism that the forum uses.

Unfortunately, it looks like there is something wrong with our PHP installation.

The PHP installation seems to have the required extension to show the captcha; but there's a bug in that extension that sometimes causes a problem, and that appears to be what is happening.
Right! And the Presbyterian Mollusk wears Linen Jodhpurs! That makes about as much sense to me as what you just wrote...

There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Yup, what Chris is saying , in essence is the thing that checks if you are a human or not is broken because the tool that interprets the web pages is broken , clear ???
