Yahoo theme gives no security code

I have found out that an 5 year old, but nice theme Yahoo interferes with the security code, both as admin, Usermenu block and Your account. I can just see the text Security Code in Firefox. The other themes works allright.

Grateful for suggestions!

For those interested inthe Yahoo theme.php you can find it here:

What are you running this theme on? RN 2.3?

I am running it on 7.6 patch 3.3.

Have you got error reporting turned on? Any errors?

Yes, I have error reporting on, but I get no errors at all

Works for me in FF and IE too.I m using RavenNuke.

So I would search here for the typical security code issues.

Susann,

Did you try my theme.php and the security code for login did work for you?

I replaced fisubice.theme with yours and the captcha works well.

But there are so many themes available I would just not use such an old theme. His themes are for nuke 5.5 - 6.+ I believe and thats just too old.

Btw.: I have installed an other theme from the same author just for fun and there is also no issue with my captcha.

Yes, the Yahoo theme arrived, when I had 6.8 and it was the first theme I used for my site, when it started 2003. That's why I am interested in keeping it, if possible. Much appreciate your tests, which indicate a incompatibility with 7.633, but not RavenNuke. I tested the theme with only theme.php, but it did not change anything.

Will test a little more with Firebug, to see if it will find the error. The latest Firebug might have memory leaks, because Firefox gets unresponsive sometimes, when Firebug is activated.

Just a quick question. Do you use the old GT or Montegos short urls ?
If so try it without short url. If I remember correctly there was an issue with the security code and the rules in .htaccess.
Show Image a Firefox extension works still with version 3.0 and is sometimes helpful to find out more when images paths are wrong.

Thanks for the tip! I have Shortlinks installed, but when I disabled it no change was seen, so it must be another cause. It seems to me as if the background picture for the security code is not displayed, which seems to be the problem.

You can use a .png also for the security code.

Thanks. Tried that but it did not work either. I have also put theme.php in fisubice theme, but it did not work either. It seems difficult to find the cause and I think I have to remove this theme from my site unfortunately.

Is it possible to load the image for the security code through the CSS-file?

It was caused by this banner code:

if ($banners == 1) {
include("banners.php");
}

I removed it and used other code to display the banner and the security code is working normally again.
