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.
