I have backed up to zip file and ftp all files from the old site running 3.05. I have installed a fresh 3.0.7 version on the new host.

Thanks for that
I will give it a go

I have posted on the Mod forum too.

Their view is its not a MOD issue.

I have tried changing styles too.

Any ideas.

I have checked he style - it is Prosilve 3.0.7

It looks like none of the CATCHA graphics work even in the ACP preview either

Any help would be much appreciated

Frank

thanks Frank

Since upgrading to 3.0.7 & intalling the ACP anouncement MOD the new user registration Code Image screen has dissapeared.

Any ideas?

Sorry I did two upgrades at the same time.

One was from 3.0.6 to 3.0.7

The other was the ACP Mod

I don't know which, if any caused the problem
