Lost Right Column Boxes

[jscrilla]

I placed a free script code to do captcha security codes on my contact_us.php page, but now I can't see the right column infoboxes. Here's the snippet of code I added. It works fine and everything, but somehow doesn't allow the right boxes to show up. Can someone tell me how to get them included again?

It's because if the die()s. They tell the script to stop executing, and the script for the right column is executed towards the end of the contact_us.php page.

 

Try this instead:

Hey, thanks a lot! That fixed the problem.
