Forum V. 8.04 - CAPTCHA images suddenly gone : My captcha images disappeared...

My captcha images disappeared but the only thing I did was turn captcha off. It was slowing me down from making some changes so I turned it off temporarily. Now it won't work.

I tried re-uploading the captcha_images file but no luck.

Any ideas?

The only changes to any files that I made were to the adsense file. I only added an ID and maybe a color change.

I've played with some skins but thats it.

edit...oops I forgot to mention I'm using 8.05a access
and I'm getting this error when trying to log into admin.

in the common.asp page.

why? because i'm making a version that you to registered to see anything.

when I place that code in the common.asp page.

the captcha is gone on the register.asp page.

I fixed it by putting this on the CAPTCHA_image.asp page. since this ( blnShowThisPage = True )was missing it would not kick people out.

<% @ Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<% blnShowThisPage = True %>

If you put this into the wrong file and it trys to display this text in the CAPTCHA image it will fail because ethe CAPTCHA image is meant to be all binery for a GIF image, your outputted text would screw this binery up.

Gotcha. I was thinking (after I wrote my question) that it might be something like that. Thanks for the explanation.

I had this same problem. I put in a Response.Write to write a comment. It looked something like this:

Response.Write ""

and my CAPTCHA failed. Why would that happen? I understand if I did some real code, but this was a COMMENT...

Thanks for any insight.

If you want to do this type of thing you would need to edit the files header.asp and footer.aps found in the includes directory.

Although the size of the tables can be controlled by editing the default_style.css file found in the CSS_styles directory.

We have a winner!

And the winner is...
#3!

I had indeed added some simple HTML to the common.asp file to contain the width of the forum. Once I removed that code (and it's complimentary code in the footer.asp file) my CAPTCHA images returned!

Thanks a bunch for you help and for the fine apps! I will be contributing to your fine efforts monitarily very soon - Your apps are going to play a key role in my current (personal) web effort.

If you are getting this type of error it suggests that the file CAPTCAHA_image.asp has become corrupted in some way.

1. Try reuploading the original file again
2. Make sure you are not suing some software like Frontpage which may have re-written the file
3. Make sure you have not added anything to a file like common.asp that would place some HTML or other none standard code in the head of the pages in the forum
