Thanks for documenting your troubleshooting Mike. I 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>

After some poking around...<br>
<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>

Sometime today, the captchas disappeared from the website.<br>
