Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I tried
searching the forums and poking around some of the threads but
could not find mention on this issue.
I can not see
the validation code when entering a new user or submitting the
"contact us" form. It appears as just a small slice of picture
but no characters or anything...
When "upgrading" I
did just over write an install of release 0.3.7 rev 1982, deleted
the config file, installed into a new database. Did I cause my
own grief or is there a known bug in the validation code
stuff?
Please, no more use SVN versions for production websites! That
usually means data loss because we cannot support the
work-in-progress databases of SVN versions!!!
You have
been lucky in this case because there haven't been database
changes since 2388, so you will probably not loose any data when
v0.3.8 will be released (very soon).
About the CAPTCHA
issue: I will tell you more ASAP, maybe there is a bug in 0.3.8

don't sweat it. I understand it is not released code... I do not
mind being on the edge etc. It is just my personal play site
where I host a few files and such. Sorry to worry you. You do
not need to rush on my account. I just wanted to report what I
thought may be a bug. I am only new to Drake so did not know if
just applying the files over the existing install was ok to do.

Apologies
It was not my intent to look like rude.
In such case,
you are doing well! Thank you for the testing effort!
I hope you will continue to tell us about other issues, we will
help you in all ways we can - if you use SVN and report the bugs
you are actually working side by side with us Thank you!
About the CAPTCHA issue: I don't yet know what's the
reason, I will post another message ASAP

Your captcha is not displaying because you do not have freetype
support in your GD libraries; the SVN version has been fixed to
switch to textual captcha (as it should) in such cases, so there
was an actual bug, thank you for individuating it!
The
latest SVN revision will correctly show the textual captcha,
however it is suggested to install freetype support (if possible)
because the textual captcha is not currently very good
Thanks again!

Thanks I will update and see if that fixes it. However I do not
really know how I would install freetype support -- it appears to
be some kind of text to graphic generator which makes sense. Is
it a php library or something? I am on netfirms (a hosted site)
and really have no idea about freetype. Any hints are
appreciated. You were never rude -- no worries about that I will
continue to report bugs and stuff!
thanks wowsher

If you do not have direct access to your server's configuration
there are few chances you can get freetype installed... The best
thing you can do is to contact them and ask "to install freetype
support for PHP's GD library", they will probably tell you that
they can't.
Anyway with the latest 0.3.8 you should
get an alternative text captcha instead of a blank one.

Thank you!
