Seems one of the fixes in FF 4.0.1 was to deal with a MS issue with
ASLR in Vista and 7 that made them "making the flaw as exploitable
on those platforms as it would be on Windows XP or other platforms."
<br>
<br>
Maybe when they fixed things in Vista and 7, they broke cpatchas in
XP? Just speculation, but since many things funky lead back to MS,
this wouldn't surprise me.<br>

More info. I tried a test post on my other machine. Entered the
displayed captcha, hit Save and -- then it gave me an error
message and no longer displayed any captcha. Now that I've seen it
twice, it was the same thing that happened the first time a couple
of days ago, as I was trying a test post then, too.<br>
<br>
You can sign in and out of your account, everything's fine there,
but you never get the captchas back so that it's possible to post
when not logged in.<br>
<br>
My guess now is that this is an issue with Firefox. It's actually
Firefox 4.0.1 that I'm running on both machines.<br>

haven't had a chance to look into this yet, and it appears that
the issue is inconsistent. I've had good results using the
Mollom module for captchas on other sites and I'm thinking of
just switching the IMC site to that. It uses a web service to do
the captchas and will also do textual analysis on fields which
is an added layer of spam protection.<br>

Still no captchas on my usual machine, even after several
reboots. On my laptop, captchas are there. Both machines are
running XP SP3 and the latest version of Firefox (4.0), so
not sure why they just went MIA on the one.<br>
<br>
And the captchas seem to be there for others, as we've had
some of the usual spam and one legitimate post since I first
noticed the problem.<br>
<br>
This seemed superficially similar to the issue we've had
several times lately where someone accidentally turned
captchas off. Chris indicated that he'd reset that the last
time it happened and remove it from the editor's menu so it
couldn't happen again. However, that doesn't seem to be the
case here, as I can get captchas on my alternate machine.<br>
<br>
I realize that this may just be my problem, but wanted to
document it in case someone else runs into the same issue. I
made no changes in settings AFAIK before this happened.<br>
