It looks like recaptcha is easily thwarted either by cheap labor or some other means, because I am still getting tons of spam signups.

I will just have to do manual registrations until I have more time to spend on this problem.

Dear Cory:
First of all I'd like to thank you for building such a beautiful plugin. Clients rave, people ooh and ahh, and it's a hit all around. Thank you. That being said...
I have an install of the site in question working wonderfully at http://www.ionstudionyc.com/?cat=6, and I thank you again for the ease of use there. The documentation you've compiled thus far is brilliant and SO easy to get through and implement.
I've been asked to changed things (as clients do) and so without affecting the site in question, I've mirrored it locally. I realized that my stock leopard PHP install didn't have GD, so i recompiled it with GD, and my PHP info file shows everything running smoothly. Safe mode off, gd enabled, etc. as cut and pasted here:
safe_mode Off Off
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.3.5
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XPM Support enabled
XBM Support enabled
Problem is, it's not implemented fully. It prints in the HTML like it's working (i.e.: <a class="flir-replaced" href="http://ionstudionyc.dev/?p=68"><img class="flir-image" alt="U. Magazine" src="http://ionstudionyc.dev/wp-content/plugins/facelift-image-replacement/facelift/generate.php?text=U.%20Magazine&h=27&w=140&fstyle=%7B%22mode%22%3A%22%22%2C%22output%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22cSize%22%3A%2226%22%2C%22cColor%22%3A%22rgb%2851%2C%2051%2C%2051%29%22%2C%22cFont%22%3A%22tradegothicltstdbdcn%22%2C%22realFontHeight%22%3A%22false%22%2C%22dpi%22%3A%2296%22%2C%22cBackground%22%3A%22transparent%22%2C%22cSpacing%22%3A%22%22%2C%22cLine%22%3A%220.5385%22%2C%22cAlign%22%3A%22left%22%2C%22cTransform%22%3A%22none%22%7D" style="border: medium none ;"/></a>) but shows an image that's not my font. Now, supposing the font isn't the problem, since it works on my external server, what COULD be the problem?
Going to generate.php directly (locally) I have nothing, no 200 OK, no image, no null, nothing. It prints the following:
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<pre/>
</body>
</html>
I've spent a couple hours mulling this over, and figured this forum may be my only out. So far I've tried clearing the cache, tried another font (a few of those included in the package), different font defaults, different js methods, all to no effect. :(
Thankfully my client is eliminating the titles in the changes they're making. So this is slightly less than urgent. However...
After having such a wonderful experience with your plugin, I'd love to develop locally using Facelift! Perhaps I've overlooked something simple, or local development with FLIR is somehow wonky/disabled. From the time I've spent I'd have to assume it's a server issue on my end (or somehow my fault!), however I'm looking to the master (you!) for answers.
I'm also wondering if there's a tool to catch php errors locally that you use, and if you can recommend any other tools for troubleshooting locally regarding php in general (besides the wonderful firebug), and specifically your plugin.
GREATLY appreciate your time,
Collin Kelly

Maybe you can check your apache/php log file. Their location depends on how you set up your server, but I'm set up on MAMP, and the apache and php log are in the /MAMP/logs folder.

I'm using a local development environment using the Leopard server builds of Apache 2, PHP 5.2.6 and a package MySQL 5.0.77 with phpMyAdmin if that helps at all. I'm not sure where the log file is located, and I have all files showing in my finder. Nothing to be found in Library/Logs directory (pertaining to php or apache, nor Users/~myname/Logs either. I'm suspect as to whether that would help or not...
Regards
Collin
