What exact version of XMB do you have installed?

Perhaps that this fix could help;

Could you show us your captcha settings? (upload a screenshot)



Just found something I put together a long time ago. A little something to check for compatibility issues. Upload and run.

I went through the same problem a couple years ago. I believe it was GD library needing to be installed by my host. I used Mouser's file to find out the problem then had my host install what was needed.

What a shame all the old posts are just gone from the original site. A treasure trove of problems/solutions gone.

I totally agree Kellter :( A TOTAL shame... I could cry.

I am the original poster of this thread. I couldn't remember my log in info, so I had to create a new account. Anyway, I'm at a HUGE disadvantage, as I know absolutely nothing about maintaining or repairing a web site. So, all of what you said sounds foreign to me. :) If someone could guide me through this, I'd surely appreciate it.

The problem on my site, is that captcha is not working and people (not bots) are continuously spamming the site. In fact, I have had to disable new registrations, just to keep the spammers at bay. What stinks, is that since I have to keep the settings this way, we can not gain any new members on our forum.

HELP! :)

You have GD library instaled in your host?
If you dont have this que captach dont will work, you need to ask to install GD library first and them configure que captcha settings.

All I can say, is what I've said before.
What part do you need help with exactly?

PS. Did the "forgot your password" feature not work? ;)
