The string you entered for the image verification did not match what was displayed - the string is correct though?

I recently migrated to a new web server and since then recaptcha
simply will not function. It will only display this error 'The string
you entered for the image verification did not match what was
displayed', I have tried over 40 times and have not entered a single
'correct' string once. This is over three different forums, all hosted
on the same server and are having the same issue.

Check your PHP system variables. They may be running a different
version from the one you migrated from, with different names for them.
I've had web pages fall apart over that issue.

Are there any specific variables I should check? The vBulletin
platform should be able to work with most variables though, it's meant
to be very generic for just that reason. The image displays correctly
it just obviously won't accept it.

Your question may be better directed, and maybe answered quicker, on vBulletin's help forums.

Check all the variables you're using. If you can, run phpinfo() on both
old and new server and check for differences. I don't know if this is
your problem or not, but it's the first thing I'd check when switching
between PHP installations. I had a guest book page fail when GoDaddy
upgraded their PHP software, so a switch to a new server raises suspicions.
