as attached, the images are not showing up, I have FTP'd the files inc/captcha_fonts in binary mode, and re-FTP'd the captcha.php file, but the problem persists.

URL??

sorry http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za

Go to ACP > Tools & Maintenance > PHP Info > and do a page search for 'gd', there should be a heading called 'gd', post the contents of the gd table here.

Got this error when I tried to access the image directly (in firefox): The image “http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/captcha.php?action=regimage&imagehash=19a4bc91e323514e096b775d6873ec57” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Something must be wrong with the captcha functions or the actual php files.

@Polarbear541, I have FTP'd all the original files to the server again, and the same problem still


EDIT: I have had to re-enable reCAPTCHA II, but I still need captcha working for other plugins which use normal captcha.

You have two UTF-8 Byte Order Marks in that output, which makes the image invalid. I don't understand why so many people have this issue with MyBB. Must be a popular editor that inserts byte order mark into files.

Anyway, see this thread:

Thank you, I will try this when I get home this evening, as I do not have access to FTP from the office.

FIXED!!!!

Frostchutz was on the money. I used notepad++ to convert the captcha.php file to unicode without BOM, then uploaded it and it was now displaying the image but no text, I then FTP's the inc/captcha_fonts dir in binary mode and it works 100% now.
