browasing directly to the page that is supposed to generate the captcha image:
MODERNA_.TTF

it loos like an issue with the free GoDaddy account. Where they are forcing the banner on the top of the page, they are overiding the header call to create the capthaca png image.

you can try renaming:
WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.php

to:
WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.png

then change the captcha image source:

php:

<div class="text"><img  src="WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.php?noisecolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Noise; ?>&bgcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG; ?>&textcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Text; ?>&transparent=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG_transparent; ?>&characters=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Characters; ?>&width=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Width; ?>&height=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Height; ?>&font=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Font; ?>" alt="security code" /></div>

to;

php:

<div class="text"><img  src="WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.png?noisecolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Noise; ?>&bgcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG; ?>&textcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Text; ?>&transparent=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG_transparent; ?>&characters=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Characters; ?>&width=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Width; ?>&height=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Height; ?>&font=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Font; ?>" alt="security code" /></div>

still cptcha images do not show up...

yes i renamed to png extension and replaces the div tag. now the link for images is not grayed out. but i can not see the images... could be problem if we plan to have banner ad in general.. so like to address this issue

well, now if I browse directly to the image file:
MODERNA_.TTF

it shows an error "The image cannot be displayed because it contains errors".

The heart of the issue is that your free go dadddy hosting account is forcing banner adds on your php pages, this is causing the captcha php page "WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.png" not to generate the image correctly. I thought we could work around the issue by changing the extension, but apparently not.

It would seam the GoDaddy free Hosting plan will not work with captcha.

i see the problem...

is there any way i can avoid captch image generation and security code itself.. which lines to be removed. we are okay with SECURITY QUESTION., WE DO NOT NEED CAPTCHA QUESTION IN FACT.. what lines to remark to gracefully solve this problem?

to remove the captcha and security question, remove the following code blocks:

line 433 - 434:

php:

var sprytextfield3 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield3", "none", {validateOn:["blur"], minChars:5, maxChars:5});

var sprytextfield4 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield4", "none", {validateOn:["blur"]});

line 268 - 409:

php:

<p>

               <div class="text"><img  src="WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_CaptchaSecurityImages.php?noisecolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Noise; ?>&bgcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG; ?>&textcolor=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Text; ?>&transparent=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_BG_transparent; ?>&characters=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Characters; ?>&width=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Width; ?>&height=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Height; ?>&font=<?php echo $WAGLOBAL_Captcha_Font; ?>" alt="security code" /></div>
