and how about the 'fonts' folder?
My has that too, and I checked the install files and the /fonts are there as well.

Check my post again I selected submit before I was done typing.

all checked and all the way you described. index.html with 0b in all.

Okay back to what I said "Open a support ticket"
I am not sure why you needed to re-install all of your files but there must of been a reason for it. Maybe something got corrupted either in the files or the tables. And just the captcha option is apparent right now. You may have other things not working you are not aware of yet.

OK, I did that.
I will post here when they give me a solution.
Thank you all for your help so far.

hei guys,
now become critical:
I disabled captcha for the registration, but looks like any member that is just a 'user' needs to fill the captca to post. and since captcha is not working, nobody can post, just the admin and the moderators.

I really need some help on how to make captch work again on my server.
Any ideas?
I submit a support ticket about a week ago and so far got no response from ubb.

Thank you for any ideas that may help!

I responded to your ticket right after you submitted it. You put in the ticket at 1:12 PM, I responded at 1:37 PM. Will copy/paste here:

Something seems to have gone awry with the way you uploaded the files. If you look at all of your files, there are multiple line breaks between each line of code. There are even linebreaks before the opening PHP tag everywhere.

So, what happens is view the source of any of your pages, you'll see a big block of blank lines before the opening html tag.

When PHP tries to generate an image, it sends an image header and then the image code itself. Since you have all of those blank lines being spit out, it sends the image header, but then sends all those blank lines before the image code, so it can never be a valid image.

What you're going to need to do is reupload all of the files and make sure that those spaces aren't there at all. It seems to be especially bad with the files in your libs directory, but it's also a problem in other directories as well.

Hi Rick,
I'm sorry. but I didn't received this response...
my bad.
Do I have to go back to the site and find the if it was reply or normally we receive an e-mail>?
I checked my JUNK folder is nothing is there as well.

Any way, I have the original 7.3.1 ZIP so I will do an update (I assume I can update a 7.3.1. to 7.3.1 right?)
or should I just copy files from my PC to my server?

Hmm, will need to check and see if the notification went out at all.

Basically you just need to copy the files from your pc to your server. Everything except for the includes, styles and cache_builders/custom

OK. I will copy all but includes, styles and cache_builders/custom

now, if there is a problem on the files under those folder. how can I find it?
I don't know if you remember, but I had a hacker problem couple months ago.
