There are a couple of ways to test if it's working as well, if you're logged in as an admin.
If you're using ImageMagick, then you'd use
ubbthreads.php?ubb=captcha&test=1&type=im
If you're using GD2, then you'd use
ubbthreads.php?ubb=captcha&test=1&type=gd

I think when 7.1 is finalized we really need to let people know to set their paths for ImageMagick lol... Perhaps have the steps in the upgrade.php file?

ubbthreads.php?ubb=captcha&test=1&type=gd OK, Mogrify? Ok, so I'm old  That is a new word. I saw the GD2 in the drop down. That was the only choice beside disable so I clicked that. Where do I put this? ubbthreads.php?ubb=captcha&test=1&type=gd Wow do I feel old and helpless

Morgify and convert are named by the creators of ImageMagick; before them they weren't tools.
As for where you put it, load up your forum, replace ubbthreads.php and everything after it (in your address bar) with that provided above.

ImageMagick does not come *standard* on servers; if you're in a shared hosting environment, make sure the path to mortify and convert are set properly (in your paths section of your control panel). If it isn't installed, your webhost will need to install it for you. GD itself has to be compiled into PHP; again, if your webhost does not have this you'll have to have them install it for you. You can see if it is installed by creating a phpinfo page: phpinfo.php: Look for a heading of "GD" and post the result; if you don't see one, then it isn't installed.

The reason I get the red X before the image loads is that the source code reads "/images/blank.gif" and there isn't a blank.gif in that directory. When I put one in there it solves it.

ImageMagick seems to have the most flexibility and available options. For example, the slight blurring that's done to the images takes quite a bit of work in GD2, while in ImageMagick it's very simple.

I understand that ImageMagick is on the server. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Another challenge

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

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'

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.

Larry, In order to use ImageMagick you'll need to have ImageMagick 6 installed. Imagemagick 5 does not support enough of the needed functions.
Looking back at the error you posted earlier:
Call to undefined function: imagegif()
It doesn't look like your PHP is compiled with the gif options. The easiest would probably be to upgrade your imagemagick to version 6.

Mark. You'll need to check and see if you have truetype support compiled into PHP as well. Basically, for GD2 you need: GD2, truetype support and the gif extensions. Or you can install ImageMagick6.

I much prefer IM, everything looks a lot better. Also, someone sad that you could get precompiled binaries for it (as to instlal it as a user vs root on the machine) but I don't know that forcertain (as I compile my own utilities).

Yes, you don't actually need root privileges on the server in order to install it, just shell level access.

All of this wasn't in the original 7.0 version so when you installed, there would have been no mention of it. Will probably need to do some type of brief doc for those upgrading to this version and want to take advantage of the captcha feature.

I have convert in /usr/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13492 Aug 24 08:25 convert
How do I know if I have ImageMagick or GD2 installed ?
I don't see any executable like that in my bin folder

If you have convert then you can find out which version of convert you have just by running 'convert -version'. That will tell you the version you have.
As for if you have GD2 installed, and truetype, gif, etc. Those you'd need to look at your phpinfo() and you'll get the details in there. GD2 will have it's own section, tyuetype should be in with the compile options I believe.

Thanks GliderDad - I'll wait to hear back from my Host provider first. I'd rather have it installed as a whole since I think I'm on a reasonably new system (or at least let them take care of it for my local account) .

I totaly recommend IM over GD; and you download a precompiled binary for im and just link to it; you don't have to have your isp install it for you.

Well just confirmed that CAPTCHA is NOT working on my new install of UBBT 7.1b4 with ImageMagick 5.5.6 04/01/03 Q16
Will wait and see if the 6.x version corrects it and report back.

IMHO, once you've played with both types, you'll see that the IM version looks a hell of a lot better and more crisp...

I can't say as I haven't used either yet, but, is "crisp" better, tho? We trying to deter OCR'ing spammers, or making things look nice?

Also, making things easier to read for users with visual disabilities is also a high priority

From what I've read on the subject OCR robot is a long way away from being used as a valid method. Speed and Recognition is too poor for the spammers to use right now.

Not sure, maybe what I was reading was old information, but if so then why would it matter for anyone to use it? Why wouldn't UBBT get the same hammering?

Mark. You'll need to check and see if you have truetype support compiled into PHP as well. Basically, for GD2 you need: GD2, truetype support and the gif extensions. Or you can install ImageMagick6. An english term springs to mind "Bollox" I dont have any Truetype. And no ImageMagic6. I'm going to have to look into this ImageMagic6 and install it. As its my own box only i can break it. Is it difficult to install the truetype support and the gif extensions for GD? As ive just learned TrueType isnt a standard feature of GD  Will keep yu updated

GD and its options are installed during the compilation of PHP on your server. If you install through an automated means (such as yum) there may be additional packages from the repository you got your install files from.
As for ImageMagick, you can either choose to compile your own (as I do) or you can download precompiled binaries and just link to them on the server. The later is easiest.

Hello,
The new version of ImageMagick will be installed within the next 24 hours.
Please wait.
Thank you.

midPhase Services, Inc. Well they did have it installed but someone had not set my shell account properly to access it. Now my shell account is setup and hopefully I'm set when I get ready to complete the setup for CAPTCHA ImageMagick 6.3.0 01/22/07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org.
