BTW, between ImageMagick and GD, I totally prefer and recommend ImageMagick (in fact, ImageMagick was my request when i finally got Rick to say he'd integrate a CAPTCHA)

That didn't work. same problem

Well, afaik, if you enter the test urls in and they come up blank, it means that the server you're attempting either isn't installed or it isn't working right.

Which would mean that either the path to your imagemagick binaries isn't properly set, that it isn't installled, or something is broken. For GD it means that PHP wasn't compiled with GD Support (if it was installed via yum then you may need to download the appropriate module).

I am told the imagemagik is installed, that the paths that were suggested above are correct. I am very confused

Godaddy asks me if its Image Magick version 5 or 6...does it matter?

imagemagick 6 I believe.

Larry what Paths to IM do you have set?

If your on a linux box, normally the paths to convert and mogrify will either be /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin

If you have ssh/telnet access to the server you can find out the path by typing 'which convert'

I'm having a nightmare day / night now....

Ive ran both the commands above and all i get is
blank white screen for either.

In the control pannel / forums settings / Forum Permissions

"It doesn't appear you have GD2 or Imagemagick available. "
I have GD2 when i phpinfo()

GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

Paths only listed the image shack stuff,
i'm mentioning that as its been a pain this upgrade. Topic click Me

The default ones and they are correct. I have a linux box

I have image magick 5.56

and GD2 2.015

neither works. I get a blank white screen when checking the url's you give to test
