GD2 was working OK back in February, however, for some reason it is no longer showing the image, but only a red X.

Maybe that test, shown below, was only for IM, therefore, do you have a test for GD2?

As a quick test you have two background images for captcha.
background1.jpg
background2.jpg
One is I will call a smooth background and the other rough.
Whatever your path is to the two files you should be able to view them with your browser. That will at least tell you the files are there and okay.
So it would be like http://www.yoursite/forums/images/captcha/backgrounds/background1.jpg
This will at least test the image files. The letters images on the background are another thing.

That looks like maybe a script problem. I'd check your scripts/captcha.inc.php and make sure it's complete.

All fixed, great call on the script. Took me a bit longer to think of and find. Gotta love support the members get here.

Thanks again Rick

The test worked without any problem, therefore, something else is causing the red X to appear.

Could be. If you bring it up in firefox, go into Tools and click on Error Console. Scroll to the bottom and see if it's showing any errors.

Thinking out of the box on this there is also a issue if there are any extra files in the captcha folder other than what was installed from the original zip.
I had a similar problem two years ago. The ftp program I was using at the time wrote a log.txt file in the captcha folder and that broke it.
Just deleting the extra files that don't belong fixed it.

I already removed those extra files without any success, therefore, I will reload those files and see what happens after that.

This is the only message I am receiving in the Error Console:

Deprecated method document.getSelection() called. Please use window.getSelection() instead.

By the way, I can see the image box showing the X in Interent Explorer, but can't see any image at all using Firefox.

Using IE, when I click on the X image, I see the reloading image arrow, but it continues to show the X image, however, I can't see the image or really do anything to reload it using Firefox.

I don't know if there is a setting in firefox to turn it on or off but it usually hides the old red x.
The reloading thing happened to me also with the extra files issue.

Humm!
Did you find some extra files in one of the captcha folders?
If you did then you may need to reload the files and clear cache in your browser.

If reloading the files doesn't work, probably want to open up a support ticket so I can look at it directly.
