I just installed version 7. I have php4 installed and I have selected gd2 in the UBB control panel.
My problem is when you register, the image sometimes has 6,4 or no Characters displayed. The empty box with the red x.
here is the url to the registration page HERE
My host informed me that gd2 is in fact installed with FreeType support but I have no clue how to test it. I do have the ability to change to PHP5 versus PHP 4 in the server control panel.

You should ask your webhost if ImageMagick6 is installed; it's a far superior graphics library that can be used for the captcha

"PHP5 versus PHP 4" I wouldn't do that just yet ;\)

Strange that one,

i'm seeing "Capture Image" As a line of text.
Blanks
but never 6 Letters / Numbers ??

I haven't seen that problem before so i cant help really.

Corrupt files ?

i was wondering that.

Try deleting them from the server and uploading them again ;\)

Make sure you keep the same case with the file names and extensions ;\)

I've been using PHP5/MySQL5 with UBB.T7 since initial beta without any problems; on two seperate servers...

I have run into some problems with poorly coded scripts, but it was easy enough to fix their issues myself

Lol no, those are not involved with threads at all, they're other third party webscripts.

Most of the "compatability" problems between PHP4 and PHP5 are security related anyway, doesn't take long at all to patch things to work in php5

WS_FTP can easily be mis-configured and not upload file types correctly at times.

Maybe try another FTP program. There are a lot of them.

FileZilla is one you could try that's free.
