I have just wasted an hour trying to get this to work due to such poor documentation. Captcha is a great/essential module but the current documentation leaves a lot to be desired.

It needs to be made clear that:

- the form store module need to be installed and enabled for captcha to work. (If this is the case)
- Captcha points need to be added at - admin/settings/captcha/points
- remove the false information "You will need to go to admin > access control to provide users access to captcha." from the captcha download page.

Building such a great module without writing accurate and concise documentation is like baking a cake and not bothering to put icing on it. :-)

Thanks,

Anthony

Less than an hour wasted for me (thanks to your post!) but this is a problem.

Moreover, the dependency should be stated in the modules page. If a module needs another module to run, it should have the line

dependencies = form_store

(i could be wrong, very new to this)

in its .info file in order to ensure that users won't forget to install form_store and then wonder what's up when the settings page doesn't appear.

Captcha 3.x is much more user friendly.
