Yes, its true, I've complained about it before on their mailing list and I think at one point it was fixed but invalidity crept back in over time.

If its a problem you can always use Subkismet captcha, or help make noise about it on the ReCaptcha mailing list. It affects all sites using ReCaptcha, not just mojoportal.

Best,

Joe

I just looked into this. The previous time they had a validation problem it was the javascript from their server writing invalid markup in the page but this time it was in the .NET code for their control. I was able to find it and fix it in the copy included in mojoPortal, so this will be fixed in the next release.

Best,

Joe

Re: Recaptcha control appears to fail validation when used with the contact form

I am using reCaptcha from past one or two years. Is was working nicely earlier but now a days the validation is failing and I am getting more fake users on my site. I have this captha on www.mydiary.co.in registration page. You can check it yourself.

Guys, any idea about an alternative to this? or any other solution? Please post if you have.
