Quote from: stoo23 on March 01, 2025, 03:34:58 PMOne further question, ... Is it Possible to Disable the 'Link' function of the Text ??
Yes - although the point of it is to enable users to let forum admins know there is a problem with the configured image ...

Remove the following line completely (no point having the help text if it doesn't link to an action) ...
<br /><p><a href="' . $image_help_href . '"><strong class="alert_vih" style="font-size: 120%;">' . $txt['verification_image_help'] . '</strong></a></p><br />
Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful ...

Yes, ... understood, Just looking for 'options' in the presented info' etc.
We already have messages regarding Account creation / Log-In issues and am thinking an 'Alternate' Message, may suffice and remove some of the current (older member) criticisms of the link message .... sigh,.. lol

Thank you again for your prompt assistance, it IS much appreciated  :)  8)

Surely they'd only click on the help message if they couldn't actually see the image (although by the sounds of it this is an incorrect assumption) ...

Well, just a Quick initial usage report.
Having literally been inundated with 'dodgy' Registrations, (dubious sign-ups that never Activate or return) along with the Single Post Spam-Bombers, since before Xmas, .... since changing from our previous Text based questions to this New Image based setup, I have I think possibly only One 'slightly' dubious registrant, across Both Forums !!

An interesting outcome, especially considering the internal squawking and criticism, about it's inherent difficulty and effectiveness  ::)  ;)

So far, I can ONLY report, close to 100% effectiveness  :)  :D
Once I edit the 'live' help text, I may even re-include the text based answers, as well as the purely Math based numerical ones.
Thank you, great Mod', Job Done !!  :)  8)
