I am trying to get CAPTCHA setup to cut down on some spam. The higher I get on the search engines the worse it is getting. I have CAPTCHA set to on in the admin control panel however it does not seem to be working. See atatchment to see a screen shot of the register page. Also someone said I need to make sure I have GD on my server so I asked my host, he said yes and gave me the following information.
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled
Any help with this would be wonderful. I am not using the latest myBB. It is one step behind the newest one. I will be upgrading to the newest on the 5th.[/code].

You can also find some more helpful tips in eliminating SPAM on your forum, here: http://mybbgames.com/2007/05/21/ten-ways...m-in-mybb/
Thank you I will look at that page. I have checked many times and yes it is set to on and that is what is so odd.
Is there a folder or file that the CAPTCHA is in? Maybe somehow I ma missing that folder or something.
Thank you for the help, I really do appreciate the replies. Here is the info I found when I did what you said.
GD Support enabled

look:

working good, but you get any other param
http://www.journeyoftheanimals.com/petch...7878787878
That is because the image hash isn't valid.
In regards to the original post, can you send me a PM with administrative access to your forum so I can take a look at it?
Chris.
PM sent. Still having some funky problems updating the forums to the latest version but I am sure I will take care of that.
Hi,
Your inc/settings.php is not writable which is why settings are not being changed correctly.
Please CHMOD the file so it is writable (generally 666 or 777) and then go to the settings, select any setting group and click "Submit Changes." This will rebuild the MyBB settings file.
