Quoted from Craig

The images are there, but they don't show up.

Not sure what you mean, I just screen dumped this from the Registration page.

The ixvvm7yr is made up from loads of other images as explained above, it is not a single image but literally hundreds mapped to form letters. If you actually open F.gif you will have to zoom 300% plus to see it and then it is just a little coloured square.

Didn't test it with IE7, IE6, Mozilla and GECKO are all good.

I can see IE7 being a pain in the ****

I've already had to re-write the DHTML for my main site because it didn't work with IE7

I'm reluctant to upgrade to 7 but looks like I'll have to, good old M$ not conforming yet again!!!

** Edit **

Just read up and found out that IE 7 doesn't support Base64 Encryption yet. Answer: Get yourself a real browser.

I accessed the MSDN blog for IE7 and we come up with a work around. I was also promised that this has been fixed in beta3 due out in August.

Images now showing in IE7

Yeah, I've read a little bit of the post there a few days ago. I wasn't sure what it broke, lol.

I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

Complicated I must admit. Can I email you the code, I would prefer your blessing before releasing as a mod

Some of the files have a lot of code and will make a huge messgage.

How about I list the verification_code and attach the CharTable.pl

These are the subs that go in Routines.pl

Code

sub validation_code{

require "$code/CharTable.pl";

	srand();
	# set the max length of the shown verification code
	if (!$codemaxchars || $codemaxchars < 3) { $codemaxchars = 3; }
	$curtime = time;
	$randtime1 = substr($curtime, (length $curtime)-5, 2);
	$randtime2 = substr($curtime, (length $curtime)-4, 2);
	$randtime3 = substr($curtime, (length $curtime)-6, 2);
	$checknum = int( rand(100) );
	$checknum =~ tr/0123456789/ymifxupbck/;
	$_ = int( rand(78) );
	$_ =~ tr/0123456789/q8dv7w4jm3/;
	$checknum .= $_;
	$_ = int( rand(99) );
	$_ =~ tr/0123456789/7v4sq3drm3/;
	$checknum .= $_;
	$_ = int( rand($randtime1) );
	$_ =~ tr/0123456789/poiuyt5ewq/;
	$checknum .= $_;
	$_ = int( rand($randtime2) );
	$_ =~ tr/0123456789/2qrt7go0ws/;
	$checknum .= $_;
	$_ = int( rand($randtime2) );
	$_ =~ tr/0123456789/lk9hgfdaut/;
	$checknum .= $_;
	$checknum = substr($checknum, 0, $codemaxchars);

	# making a mess of the validation code
	$scramble = &encode_password($curtime);
	for ($n = 0; $n < 9; $n++) {
		$scramble .= &encode_password($scramble);
	}
	$scramble =~ s/\//y/g;
	$scramble =~ s/\+/x/g;
	$scramble =~ s/\-/Z/g;
	$scramble =~ s/\:/Q/g;

	$positioner = $curtime;
	$positioner .= $curtime;
	$curtime = substr ($positioner,0,length $checknum);
	@position = ();
	@character = ();
	$sessionid = "";
	$showcheck = "";
	$lastvalue=13;
	$showcheck = qq~<base href="$rurl/"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr>~;

	for($n=0; $n < length $checknum; $n++)    {
	$showcheck .= qq~<td>~;
		$letter = substr($checknum, $n, 1);
		Convert();
		$showcheck .= $htmlcode;
		$value = (substr($curtime,$n,1))+$lastvalue+1;
		$lastvalue = $value;
		substr ($scramble,$value,1) = $letter;
	$showcheck .= qq~</td>~;
	}
	$showcheck .= qq~</tr></table>~;
	$sessionid = $scramble;
	return $sessionid;
	return $showcheck;
	return $curtime;
}

sub encode_password {
	my $eol = "";
	$eol = $_[0];
	chomp $eol;
	if (eval "require Digest::MD5") {
		use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_base64);
	}

	my $mypass = md5_base64 $eol;
	return $mypass;
}

This goes in Post.pl under sub Post2

Code

	if($username eq 'Guest') {
		$ebout .= <<"EOT";
     <tr>
	  <td align="right">Guests need to enter a verification code to post on this board<td>
	</tr><tr>
        <td align="right" width="30%"><b>Your Verification Code is:</b></td>
        <td width="70%">$showcheck</td>
      </tr><tr>
        <td align="right" width="30%"><b>Verification Code:</b></td>
        <td width="70%"><input type="password" class="textinput" maxlength="30" name="verification" id="verification" size="30">
        <input type="hidden" name="_session_id_" id="_session_id_" value="$sessionid">
        <input type="hidden" name="curtime" id="curtime" value="$curtime"></td>
      </tr>
EOT

This in Regester.pl under sub Register2

Code

	if($nocomputers) {
		$ebout .= <<"EOT";

	<tr>
        <td class="win" width="50%"><b>Your Verification Code is:</b></td>
        <td class="win" width="50%">$showcheck</td>
      </tr><tr>
        <td class="win" width="50%"><b>Verification Code:</b></td>
        <td class="win" width="50%"><input type="password" class="textinput" maxlength="30" name="verification" id="verification" size="30"></td>
      </tr>
EOT

The error checking for both:

Code

        error_post("The Verification Code is blank!") if($user{'verification'} eq '');

                # Trying to figure out the mess we made while encrypting verification
                $lastvalue        = 13;
                $verificationtest = "";
                for ($n = 0; $n < length "$user{'curtime'}"; $n++) {
                        $value = (substr("$user{'curtime'}", $n, 1)) + $lastvalue + 1;
                        $letter = substr("$user{'_session_id_'}", $value, 1);
                        $lastvalue = $value;
                        $verificationtest .= $letter;
                }
        error_post("The Verification Code is wrong!") if($verificationtest ne $user{'verification'});
        }

And the character table is attached.

And I think you need my Image Resize mod as this thread is all over the place due to a very large graphic
