Multiple Issues - Captcha, Terms Agreement, Icons, Date Format
I didn't want to appear to spam up the boards, so I'll ask all of my questions in one topic.
CAPTCHA
I have the "Use Captcha on Register" option set in the config of Joo!CM, but the image does not show up. The "Human Verification" part shows up, but all it says is "Captcha Image" with a text box underneath. I installed all five elements in the Joo!BB Install Pack.
TERMS AGREEMENT
For users that I created via the Control Panel, it says that I must agree to the terms before I can perform any actions, but when I click on "Terms", there's only the Cancel button. New users on the front end have the option to agree, but I don't know if they'll get the same message because they're not fully able to register because of the Captcha issue.
ICONS
I really like the topic icon set (Exclamation, Question, Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, etc), but I want to remove the "Joomla" icon and keep the others. How?
DATE FORMAT
On the Board Index page, is there a way to remove or at least alter the "All times are blah blah blah" part? The line is so long, it forces the Search feature to a new line and is creating a lot of blank space.
I'm no whizkid, but I'm fairly comfortable with editing CSS, ini, and PHP files if that's what it takes. Also, there are no users other than those I have created for testing purposes, so if files need to be deleted/reset, I'm game for that too.
Thanks. Awesome board.

my advice to you is to set up alpharegistration. its a free, easy-to-use and excellent component and will get you the best captcha, and it works.
make sure you get the public and private keys from google when you set it up in order to work.

alpharegistration will solve this for you as well.

not sure on this one.
well none of these issues are particularly related with the forum but here goes some tips. 
Re: Multiple Issues - Captcha, Terms Agreement, Icons, Date Format
I'm sorry. I should have mentioned that ALL registrations will occur via the Joo!BB forum as that's all the registered users will have the capability of doing - posting on the forums. I will be the only one contributing articles/polls, etc to the site itself.

make sure you get the public and private keys from google when you set it up in order to work.I set it up, but it didn't fix my current Captcha problem. It still shows "Human verification" with the words "Captcha Code" followed by a text box when the user clicks "Register" on the forum home screen.
Quote by Troneas:alpharegistration will solve this for you as well.Nope. Still only has a "Cancel" button and nothing else. This is the screen accessed from the forum when I, an administrator, click on "My Profile" then "Terms" from the forum home screen.

delete this file. I deleted the file, now instead of a pretty icon it just says "Joomla Joomla". As in an image placeholder.
Quote by Troneas:not sure on this one.I guess I can completely remove the date. No problem there.
I can set you up with screen shots if you need me to as my site isn't quite live yet. Thanks.
Re: Multiple Issues - Captcha, Terms Agreement, Icons, Date Format
* UPDATE *
Don't know what may have fixed it, but the "Agree" button is showing up now.
Everything else is still not working...
Re: Multiple Issues - Captcha, Terms Agreement, Icons, Date Format
* UPDATE 2 *
Set it up to where the user cannot register via the forums, only via the Main Page which will register them on the main page AND on the forums. I then edited the code to where when the user clicks "Register" on the forums it takes them back to the front page where they can create an account. So, it's basically a work-around rather than a fix, but I'm satisfied with the results.
The Captcha program you recommended works perfectly from the main page.
Still don't know what fixed the "Agree" problem, but it does work.
Going to work on that Joomla icon fix now.
Re: Multiple Issues - Captcha, Terms Agreement, Icons, Date Format
* UPDATE 3 *
Solved the Joomla icon issue.
I edited the joobb.xml file in the "components > com_joobb > designs > icons > joobb" directory to comment out the line
icon filename="icon-32-post_joomla.png" group="iconPost" function="postJoomla" title="BB_ICONPOSTJOOMLA"
(the above line has leading and ending brackets but BB code wouldn't let me put it in)
And this removes the icon altogether. I put the image back that you told me to remove just in case I want the icon back in the future. Then I could just uncomment the line and keep rolling.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!
