Davids is windows.
he specifically is missing the GD library.
I don't know the details of the server -i.e whether it's a shared hosting server, a managed or self managed box.
I've seen hosting plans before where this library is not included in the PHP distribution, and it is included on higher hosting plans from the same host.
php graphic generation is reasonably processor intensive.
given the curent problems with white screens, which IMHO seem like a script time out problem I don't see as it's omething that Davids going to rush into implementing, putting additional load onto the server before he's sorted the white screen problem.
also, I don't know whether David has a test server set up anywhere that would let him test this before implementing it. this would cause additional delay between the suggestion time and the implentation time.
assuming that davd has a managed host he may not even have acces to the PHP.ini file to enable this library.
I know that this library does work on windows as i have it running on my own development server.
I'm sure that this is something that David will look into, though I imagine that this is fairly low priority.

it might be harder to implement, but disability access is something that should be considered when putting something like this designed to make it harder to sign up. not everyone can read captchasHarder to implement.
Because suggestions never seem to get comments from him until they're posted for the 80th time.Why is it suprising?
72 hours? This has been suggested many times before in many different threads and has been ignored back then.OK it seems everyone has lost faith in me since this hasn't been implemented within 72 hours of the original post already so here is that stage its at:
The current version of vbulletin has a captcha option but PHP needs to have a gd library. I've been busy the past few days so haven't had time to set it all up which is why it hasn't been implemented yet.
This coming from the king of sarcastic comments.He has said he intends to do it why don't you just leave it?
