<anxiously waiting for the response> ;)

Well, not that anxiously, I've tested it on quite a few platforms and do things more "correctly" with this version... so there shouldn't be any issues, regardless of the platform

You can also delete the folder data/customimgcaptcha now, it no longer relies on this

Okay, this version should fix your issue.

There is no need for the data/customimgcaptch folder any more... so there will be no permission issues
This now uses the view to change the headers (similar to how XenForo attachments work), so you shouldn't see any header issues

To be honest, I really wasn't happy with how this was done before, I'm much happier with it now (it's cleaner and more correct in XenForo context)

I tried the new version. It shows up ok in Admincp but actual registration page it does not show up...
no errors were logged.

Do we have to do anything special to update this because of the folder change?

Have you both selected CustomImageCaptcha in the ACP>>Options>>User Registration

There shouldn't be anything special you need to do.. .but, I would save your images (Export via the customImgCaptch) before upgrading
 
Ah ha.. that was the issue wasn't it... I just tried an upgrade on a separate forum ;)

It's no fault of mine this time :D

If the location of the Capctha options has changed, but the users settings haven't, XenForo tries to use the old location (I suppose that makes sense, since you haven't told it to update the options).

So if you are upgrading, you have to go back into the ACP>>Options>>User Registration and select "Enable CAPTCHA for Guests >> Use CustomImgCaptcha"


So... no bug there... phew

Your welcome, have you tried it with FoolBotHoneyPot (which blocks 100% of bots), if not.. there's a free version in this pack:
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/tac-tenants-anti-spam-collection-anti-spam-free-version.1474/

You'll then get more information if a bot ever does start passing one or more of the CAPTCHAs, you'll also know when humans find your CAPTCHA too hard (so you can consider changing them / adding more answers)

yes I did that. It appears as an empty box. and yea I did import new images. I had my last ones deleted.
Any suggestions ?
 
An empty box? Select the radio button for CustomImgCaptcha...

You need to turn it on in the user registration:


acp.webp

let me tell you what I mean by an empty box...
Untitled.webp
and when I right click and see the url of the image I see something like.. domain/data/customimagecaptcha/img.php?public_uuid=(random number)
WHERE customimagecaptcha folder does not exists !!

I did try to uninstall and reinstall it again. I even tried it with default images but not luck. Images appear fine in Admincp.
 
This url "domain/data/customimagecaptcha/img.php?public_uuid=(random number)" should no longer exist... which means some how you're using an old part of the code ( possibly the wrong XML, or older template. So I've either exported it with the old XML or you're some how using an older version)

The URL now points to somethink like this
src="{xen:link 'cic-img', '', 'public_uuid={$entry.public_uuid}'}"
which returns
domain/index.php?cic-img&public_uuid=(random number)

Edit: The XML in the zip looks like the correct version, so maybe your template is out of date

If they appear fine in the ACP, but not in the registration page, then the XML must be fine, but for some reason the template has not updated

The customimgcaptcha_captcha template should say this:

Code: 
                    <dd>
                        <div style="" id="custom_img_captcha">
                            <div class="textCtrl" id="custom_img_captcha_image" style="width: {$width}px; height: {$height}px;">
                                <img width="{$width}" height="{$height}" src="{xen:helper public-cic-img, $public_uuid}">
                            </div>
                            <div class="ddText">
                                <label for="custom_img_captcha_response_field">{xen:phrase sf_answer_the_above_question}:</label>
                            </div>
                            <span id="public_uuid_holder" style="display: none;">
                                <input type="hidden" value="{$public_uuid}" id="public_uuid" name="public_uuid">
                            </span>
                            <input type="text" class="textCtrl OptOut" id="custom_img_captcha_response_field" name="custom_img_captcha_response_field" autocomplete="off">
                            <p class="explain">
                                (<a href="http://xenforo.com/community/resources/customimgcaptcha.1161/">CustomImgCaptcha</a> By <a href="http://www.surreyforum.co.uk/">Surrey Forum</a>)
                            </p>
                        </div>
                    </dd>

note, this line in particular:
src="{xen:helper public-cic-img, $public_uuid}"

I think templates won't automatically update if they've been modified at all. But you should have the option to update out-of -date templates
