Captcha image not showing on rego i am stuck as no idea
I had to disable forum sign up a long time ago due to not being able o solve it on my own, now i am well ken to get sight back up & running i would love to fix the issue i have looked in many files, up loaded language files but not sure if i am doing it right or even put them in right place of now have buggered the site up ever more, if any one who knows what they are doing can point me in right direction would be greatly appreciated
what mods do you have installed and is this for smf v1.1? if so i'd highly suggest updating to 2.0.17 for security reasons and also php versions....
I know for me on a 2.0.x it was the mod Topic Author (https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/?mod=3485) for some strange reason with that installed my captcha stopped working, uninstalled it and my captcha was fine....
so well....if you don't have that mod then you'll need to play eeny meeny miney mo until you figure out which mod is causing it.
Core captcha verification is pretty much useless. You should upgrade to 2.0.17, 1.1 branch went eol a while ago and is no longer supported.
that's what i can see, packages & installed packages

So you're running 2.0.17. You should be using verification questions for registration, not captcha.

i did have 6 questions to do with the Australian fishing sport my site is about but still gitvover run by spammers joining posting porn crap
6 questions is not enough...
you should have 20-30 questions in the queue (ask 1-2 each registration)
and you will also need to change your questions approximately every year or two.
