Good evening,
We are currently running phpBB Board software version 3.2.1 having upgraded as recommended to comply with PHP V7.
We enabled anti-spambot User Registration CAPTCHA (Picture square tick version) Features 48 hours ago as we were having problems with a deluge of dodgy commercial sales oriented automatic member registrations. Since then we have received no genuine new member registrations [we would expect at least 10 over a weekend]. As a result, I am a voluntary stand in systems admin for a non-profitmaking forum, I tried setting up a new member myself to check that the procedure was working. Went through the standard data entry user name, email address, password set up, navigated the picture CAPTCHA successfully, submitted the data and received lines of red errror messages at the top of the screen see below and a message in the data entry box itself also see below.
DISPLAYED TOP OF THE SCREEN OUTSIDE THE USER SCREEN BORDER

The solution you provided was incorrect
I believe this also happened with an earlier version of the software. Would anybody out there be kind enough to diagnose the problem and guide me to a solution bearing in mind I am not a programmer.
Many Thanks in Advance Regards Bebop
