    Well honestly I don't know exactly what in safe mode would affect this program as the only advanced thing it does is sessions which safe mode should do. But I've learned to ask that question as it usually means there are other things disabled or locked down on the box which affects some tricks I do.

    So in reality it should work. But I can't fathom why not but I bet the culprit is safe mode.

    I'll have to do some research.

    One thing you can try is to edit the file and comment out lines 96 and 97 like so:
    

    //	@ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', false);
    //	@ini_set("url_rewriter.tags","");

    and see if that makes any difference at all.

    I bet there is an error that is failing silently somewhere.

    In fact take the @ off like 98 temporarily too which is masking any errors.

    Turns out there was an issue with sessions not being set up properly; according to my hosting guy, the PHP distro isn't as streamlined in FreeBSD as in Linux. Had to set the path to the session files. Resolved now, thanks. :)

    aha! well glad it was that "simple"
    several plugins rely on sessions so that's good to have working properly

    hello,

    I'm using bbPress version 0.9.0.4 with the following plugins :
    Askimet, BB Anonymous Posting and Human Test for bbPress.

    Ive noticed that the output of the question is somewhat strange:
    How much does 1 + -1 = (this is the way it appears on screen)
    How much does 1 + 7-1 = (this is when I copy/paste it here)
    Answering it as an Anonymous user fails everytime.

    ck, I don't know how far along you are with the captch, but I have a modified version of the wpmu captcha plugin I'd like to send you. I did submit my improvements to the plugin author, but they haven't updated it. I think it should be relatively easy to modify your plugin.

    Oh the human test doesn't work for anonymous users anymore (every time I add up the numbers I get a page telling me it's for human's only). I'm using the same setup as Lizuka above. Does the human test not work with anonymous posting?

    Same problem here. The plugin gives the humans only line every time I try to post a comment.
    And when I copy + paste the line, I get a different text as what I see on my screen. But both answers give me the humans only thing.

    Those having trouble with anon posts please upgrade to 0.9.1

    I missed a change in the posts section when I made it harder for bots last month.

    Sorry about that.

    Do you have a download link? Or does the download link work for the new release?

    [edit] The download link says 0.9.1 but the version of the file (within check for updates) still reports 0.9.0

    thanks for the updates!
    the new version worked with anonymous replies but not with anonymous new topics
    so I decided to alter the line :
    
if ($location=='index.php' && !empty($_GET['new']) ) {$location='forum.php';}

    into
    
if ($location=='index.php') {$location='forum.php';}

    and it seems to solve the problem.
    Hope I haven't done anything wrong here ;)

    Well what you are doing is always enabling it for every front page load which should not be necessary. I will try to hunt down the real problem later.

    The plugin fails when any of the numbers are negative. e.g. 1 + -1 does not allow user to post even if you enter 0 (zero).

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    You should never have negative numbers.
    If you are seeing them, that means sessions are not working properly on your server
    (or there is some unknown bug in the plugin)

    Thanks _ck_.

    In my case, I always see negative numbers (like 1 + -1) on the post form used on tags.php. On all other pages, the plugin works correctly without showing any negative numbers.

    I am not sure why this could be happening. So I have currently removed the post form on tags.php page.
