[UCIMC-Tech] Re: [Imc] Trouble registering

[Josh King]

Hi Matt, Mike,

It looks to me like the problem is fixed now. It seemed to be a problem 
with the CAPTCHA. I'm going to re-examine how well reCAPTCHA is 
integrating in other parts of the site.

Sorry about the slow pace of bugfixes, I've been working through a lot 
of backend Chambana.net work lately, but I'm still making my way through 
the list of bugs on the main site that people have provided me, albeit 
slowly ;)
