Well we both know you have GD installed on your server so it's not that. When you say it's not working what do you mean exactly? Image not showing at all or showing but no characters?

Most spamming is actually done using scripts and not programs and just sends the data automatically without ever visiting the page. I keep a log of all posts made to my own guestbook, successful or not, so I can see exactly what data was sent in the post. It has provided me with some useful information on how to improve my mousetrap.
Anyway the CAPTCHA I wrote for Lazarus is different from the one in AG so have a look at that. I also threw together a really simple one as can be seen at www.carbonize.co.uk/captcha.php

The problem with CAPTCHA is, and always will be, obscuring it enough to fool bots whilst keeping it legible enough for humans. I have some ideas on this and will be toying with them but until the spammers do start making automated scripts that can read my CAPTCHA I'm not going to worry about it. Any spam I get now I know has been manually entered.

If you want to see my data from the guestbook entries PM me and I will send you the link but I would rather it stayed private.

It's built into 2.4.1

Turn on the password as found in General Settings.

Hmmm I don't see why not. Personally I find with non English guestbooks it's best to block posts that use English words to prevent spam.

Anyway open add.class.php and replace

if ($this->db->isBannedIp($this->ip))

with

if (!$this->db->isBannedIp($this->ip))

This is a security feature to prevent spam bots getting the emails.
Search the forum.

You would have to remove it from form.php template and to be safe remove the relevant line from addentry.php

Error Number: 1030 Got error 127 from storage engine

Nothing to do with the script as it's a problem with your server. Speak to your hosts.

Please note that Auron and I have nothing to do with the scripts offered on this site other than using, or having used, them. Our help is voluntary. I still help here despite the fact I maintain a fork of this sites Advanced Guestbook script at http://lazarus.carbonize.co.uk and Auron has his own things to do.

Once they know the password they can just have their spam script send it. This is why I added image verification to comments as well as entries in Lazarus.

as it clearly states in the instructions booth.php needs to be the very very very first thing on th epage. No spaces, nothing before it.

If your host uses cpanel, and odds are they do, you can install it through cpanel.

Edit gb.class.php

You ya moron.

Mwuahahaha HE LIVES!!!!!!!!
