Issues with the confirmation code

A friend of mine cannot register on the forums because the visual confirmation keeps rejecting his submissions. I'm getting the same.
Is there a problem?

I will look into it when I get off work tonight.

This evidently happened before the move, as well...I'll see if it gives me the same.
[edit] And it does. Y'know, I don't mind having to ban/delete the occasional spammer now and then, if that's all we'd get from removing the CAPTCHA.

I have the same problem as well.
Spammers are *NOT* occasional. Additionally, the phpBB2 CAPTCHA system has been exploited and circumvented repeatedly. I don't really see very much how it's helping, but it could be. I think CAPTCHA can be safely removed.

The CAPTCHA should be off now - see if your friend is able to register now.

He was able to a few days ago - but it has been an issue for other people since.
Thanks.
Although I can see a few spambots are registering already...
