Description
Hello,
Please add a link to reload the image if it can't be read without reload the whole page, just the image.
THanks

It would be neat if you could click on the image to generate a new one. Since the CAPTCHA module is so dependent on the Forms API, I'm not sure if this is something we could do. Drupal 6 adds a bunch of AJAX Forms API stuff though, so that might be something that we'll have to wait for in the Drupal 6 port.
You might like to try out reCAPTCHA, as it implements this functionality.

Looks like a Drupal6 AHAH thing
and should be applicable to all CAPTCHA types (not only image CAPTCHA)
#3
It is especially important for the image captchas, though. IMO, it makes the image captchas unusable b/c someone may think the image is unreadable and at worst say "well, forget this" and at best feel a bit frustrated, or worry what will happen if they enter the wrong value. This is a shame because otherwise they are fantastic... I love how configurable they are.

Subscribing. I've made the CAPTCHAs fairly reasy to read by trying out different fonts and settings... but a refresh link is important.
#5
Subscribing. is there any update???
#6
Subscribing; may have to do this for my company and will try and get permission for a patch to post here.
#7
I am also interested in this feature, as I think this will be the quickest workaround for the intermittent issue that I have just reported on http://drupal.org/node/558904.

Subscribing - I have definitely lost at least one submission as they emailed me to tell me they couldn't read the Captcha and couldn't figure out how to submit the form. Andy
