[Imc-web] Re: [UCIMC-Tech] Image as Spam Target, Numeric Captchas

[Josh King]

Somehow the reCAPTCHA library got overwritten during the update process. 
I reinstalled it, but it looks like I put it in the wrong directory 
(sites/all/modules/recaptcha instead of 
sites/all/modules/recaptcha/recaptcha). Should be fixed now.
