Hi, I hope you're out there Carbonize.

I just had my guestbook moved to a new host. I had to modify the config.inc.php file only to reflect a slight change in my database file. Now I can view the guestbook, I can log in to admin the guesbook.

The trouble is, no one can add an entry to the guestbook. You fill out the form, do the image verification thingy, hit submit, and it just clears the form and starts you over.

Any ideas on where to start? I'll help out any way I can!

Oh, and my new host DOES have GD support enabled...

AND...I see this if you highlight the top left corner:

The Image Verication code you supplied is incorrect.
Please enter the 8 characters that appear in the image.

Your image verification thingy was working fine with my other host, and so far everything else is good. Any ideas?

Personally I say remove the inage verification by replacing all the guestbook files except config.inc.php then try the human verification method.

Thanks for that reply Carbonize. You've helped me a lot in the past.

I don't understand what is broken. All files were copied over to the new server. Everything worked properly on the old server.

Do I understand correctly that all current guestbook entries are stored in the database files? Just wondering, I wanted to make sure that I don't mess them up.

I'm using 2.3.2, maybe now is a good time to upgrade?

Heh, I just installed your Lazarus guestbook and converted my Advanced Guestbook over.

It works fine!

However, I noticed there is no verification to this. Is that ok?

There are 3 layers of antispam protection in Lazarus built in i believe. If you go to his site there is information there.

Three layers yes. Or could be classed as four.

1 - The submit button's name is slightly different on every version of Lazarus.

2 - There is a time delay before it will let a guest submit their entry (optional)

3 - There is a time limit for the guest to submit their entry in (optional)

4 - Human verification where the guest has to answer a question before their post is accepted (optional)

Five if you include the ability to require posts to be approved before they appear in the guestbook.
