Description
In recaptcha.module, there's this code:
// Check if reCAPTCHA is available and show Math if not
$connect = @fsockopen(RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER, 80);
if (!$connect) {
return captcha_captcha('generate', 'Math', $args);
}RECAPTCHA_VERIFY_SERVER is "api-verify.recaptcha.net".
I have recaptcha enabled on user registration page, and since the recaptcha server is down right now, it just hangs there, waiting for captcha, but not replacing it with a math captcha like it's supposed to (I have math enabled). Going to api-verify.recaptcha.net or admin.recaptcha.net times out.
Any ideas?
Best,
Andrey.

And by the way, users can't register because even if they wait 1+minute for recaptcha to time out, the verification always returns false.
