Hi there team
Have had a few members of my
http://acclaim-waikato.org contact me in regards to the captcha image. They can't see all the letters.
How, and where (which file) can I tone down the background so the letters are a bit more visible?
Thanks

Try to replace the files:
captcha.js
captcha.php
and folder
captcha_fonts
For this you need specifically the ./inc/captcha_fonts/ folder and it's contents, but upload it in binary mode.

Your english is ok virus4. I take it that I should over-write the existing files?

Thanks Matt - I am using the files that came with MyBB 14. And yes, I beleive that I did upload that specific file in binary mode.
I have seen another MyBB forum site where they are using captcha with a totally white background. How is this done as this may slove the problem I'm having. At the moment some of the captcha fonts/numbers don't show so well with all the black, and or white dotted, and or coloured squares in the background.
I appreciate, and thank you both for your help.
The background colour is defined on about line 90 of capatcha.php though default it is white.
This is the code:
$bg_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);

Thank you TimB
I looked through captcha.php soon after someone had told me they had a hard time seeing the letters and numbers, and yes, the default is "white".
But strangely the background is dark/black.
I will have a go at changing the colours and will be back soon to post how I got on.
But at the end of the day, visitors can use the "refresh" button until they can see it clearly enough so not a major problem/concern. Keepin the auto sign-up bots out is, and its certainly doing that!
Must say that MyBB is a very good forum. I'm glad I am using it.
Good Excellent support forum with great members and 2nd to none support crew
Thank you
Have a great day
Seeing as it is making displaying black when it is set to white, what happens if you set the background to black? Just a thought. I have no idea what is causing it, I assume a misconfiguration in your GD PHP module.
