Hi!
This seems to be related to your theme, which one are you using? Maybe there's a new version of your theme you'd need to use (0.8.5 was quite old).
Did you enable captchas in the spamblock plugin? By default it is no longer shown for you if you are logged into your blog!
HTH,
Garvin

Hi!
Could you temporarily switch to the "Serendipity 3.0" template and see if it works there properly?
If so, then the coffee blix theme might need to be updated. Where did you get the theme from? I can't see it on spartacus.s9y.org? I can only find "Coffee Bar" in there?
Best regards,
Garvin

Hi!
That "DATA_..." stuff should not be there, it should only be displayed if specific variables are set.
The output you should only get if a constant called "DATA_UNSUBSCRIBED" is declared. However this should only be defined in the serendipity' index.php file when a comment is submitted.
Did you by any change forget to upload the new 1.1 language files? Then you might still have old language includes in that file which trigger that display?
The captcha error could also come because of a faulty upgrade...maybe not all files were properly uploaded?
If I call the captcha image:
http://ifthi.com/blog/servlet?/plugin/c ... ab6af594e1
I get a blank result. Blank results often occur because your PHP is crashing. Can you check the Apache/PHP error-logs and make sure your PHP value for "display_errors" or "error_log" is set to an appropriate value (you can check that via a phpinfo() output).
Best regards,
Garvin

No need to clear it; just reupload all the files, preferably using a tool like FileZilla. Check the output for any errors or warnings. If you can, make sure it uploaded ALL the files.
Given just this output, we don't really know what the problem is. But PHP and Apache give us extra information that the browser never gets to see. If you can access your error logs -- that's one error log for Apache, and one for PHP -- they may provide extra information that will help us to determine the problem. If you don't know where they are, ask your webhoster!
