Description
I keep getting CAPTCHA test failed (unknown csid)., when an anonymous user tries to make a comment on a Drupal 6.9 site.
I got the error with 6.x-beta-2.0-beta2, so I updated the files to beta4. Still the same error.
"CAPTCHA test failed (unknown csid)."
I am using reCAPTCHA, with AJAX Comments, and when I press send comment, it does this error.
Comments and captcha work fine with Admin account though. Meaning it has to do with anonymous.

More info:
I also have AJAX Comments and reCAPTCHA, as well as CAPTHCA-2.0-beta2 in another Drupal 6.11 site... and in this site, anonymous comments work, but it freezes IE (maybe because of AJAX comments tho), but the commenting anonymously works here. I don't get that csid error.
This is very weird.

Are you working with a fresh install of CAPTCHA 6.x-2.x or is it an update from CAPTCHA 6.x-1.x?
Can you first try if non-AJAX comments work? And also with a simple challenge (like math or image CAPTCHA), because reCAPTCHA also uses AJAX tricks.
#3
When I disable AJAX comments everything works with reCAPTCHA. When I re-enable AJAX comments, same error. So weird!!
#4
I don't know and never used the AJAX comments module.
However, the AJAX comments module project page states that it works with CAPTCHA, so the maintainer of AJAX comments apparently knows more about the two modules working together.
(Shifting this thread to the issue queue of AJAX comments.)
Maybe one more thing you could try: does AJAX comments + math CAPCHA or image CAPTCHA work together?

reCAPTCHA doesn't work #375407: Not working with ReCAPTCHA
CAPTCHA works fine (at least, I didn't have any problems with latest releases at my sites)

Marking this as fixed until someone will provide additional info.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

It seems that CAPTCHA 2.x works with AJAX comments, but not when you have reCaptcha enabled. It's definitely 100% a recaptcha problem.
#9
I'm throwing this back to recaptcha, because it doesn't seem like AJAX comments people are doing anything. I'm pretty sure recaptcha needs to fix its script to work with AJAX comments using AJAX recaptcha API (from recaptcha.org site). Tell me if I'm wrong.
