Something's strange. It shows up in modules, and it's checked off. I have verified that it exists in the system table. It is not throttled. Module files have appropriate permissions.

Permissions for textimage are accessible, but not captcha... Very strange. Maybe I'm the only one out there with this problem, but it really has me stumped. Ideas?

On new sites I am not seeing the permission structure for Captcha. But on an earlier site which had functional captcha and which I updated to 4.7.2, captcha still woks (although the permission structure is still missing).

same problem here... new captcha+textimage just doesnt work!
user registration is halted!

well - actually e.g. the url

_textimage/image/1152367729

is simply denied access here, altough I gave all roles the privilege
"access textimages"

FYI the privilege "access captchas" is not available here as well...

Same problem here: No 'access' controls, and ultimately captcha doesn't work.

Me too! I turn Text Images off and captcha works, except of course the box is way too long! Great mod, hope this issue gets resolved!!

what a PITA!

after the upgrade I only have such simple "match questions" to use , but the testimages that did work before don't anymore...

any1 contacted the coder already?

The same problem Captcha not being displayed in Access Control in Drupal 4.7.2

I'm also not seeing access control items for captcha. I noticed that hook_menu was missing from the 4.7 version, so I tried adding (shown below, ripped off of 4.6 version), to no avail.

/**
* Implementation of hook_menu().
*/
function captcha_menu($may_cache) {
  $items = array();
  
  $suffix = '';
  if (arg(2)!=null) $suffix='/'.arg(2);
  
  $items[] = array('path' => 'captcha/image'.$suffix, 'title' => t('captcha image'),
    'callback' => '_captcha_image', 'access' => user_access('access captchas'),
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK);
    
  return $items;
}

Is anything happening with this issue? I noticed that the CVS version hasn't changed, either.

I just noticed that by enabling "access textimages" with recent CVS version
I enabled the creation of the textimage,

but I get invalid images from textimage!

Firefox says
"image cannot be displayed because it contains errors"

doing a view-source it looks like it could be png image

‰PNG
......lots of gibberih binary stuff following....

any ideas?
