I have one user who swears they are entering the correct math question answer, but it comes back saying it's wrong. Use is on registration form. Also possibly related is that apparently when it comes back with "answer is incorrect" it does not change the math question - my experience is that question is changed upon incorrect response.

Something getting stored in this person's cookie or something? Can't figure it out. He is using IE 7.

Captcha version:

The version for Drupal 4.7.x is indeed in a (very) bad condition.
Version for Drupal 5.x got a major rewrite/overhaul and is now much better/stable/usable. However, these changes were not backported to the 4.7.x branch as far as I know.

And I don't see that happening any time soon, probably never. Personally I already spent way to much time with the overhaul for the Drupal 5 version, I can't allocate time to work on the drupal 4.7 version. Sorry.

So I would recommend to upgrade to Drupal 5.x if that's a possibility for you. If that's impossible, please tell why.

...... Unless, of course, you want to back-port Captcha 5.x-3.x-dev to Drupal 4.7.x ;-) .

I have several "hopefully" new members trying to register to my site and they are always getting an error that the math answer is NOT correct. I have also tried it on one of my other sites and it gave the same problem.

I am also using the Mollom module. Could there be a conflict between the two?

Thanks.

@ gerbreown: please don't reopen this 4 years old unrelated issue. Best is to open a new ticket.
but to quickly answer your question: combining the mollom module and captcha module is not recommended. I would choose one or the other.
