cannot add Captcha to Shoutbox 6.x

Issue Summary

Trying to add Captcha to Shoutbox (moderation is not enough spam protection)

Tried a few form ids, "shoutbox" validates as a form id in the Captcha point form /admin/user/captcha/captcha/captcha_point

see attached image showing Image Captcha is added to shoutbox (Captcha shows OK on guestbook form)

But no Captcha is added to Shoutbox

Tried some other form_ids from the page source, they did not work:

shoutbox-add-form
<form action="/admin/user/captcha"  accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="shoutbox-add-form" name="shoutbox_add">

edit-shoutbox-add-form, shoutbox_add_form
<input type="hidden" name="form_id" id="edit-shoutbox-add-form" value="shoutbox_add_form"  />

Also using Mollom 6.x-1.10

Just enable "Add CAPTCHA administration links to forms" in the CAPTCHA settings and you can add the CAPTCHA directly to any form in your site.

There is a page rendering problem if the user entered the wrong answer, but I can live with that. After a page refresh the problem is gone.

P.D. Sorry for my bad English.
Bye.

"Add CAPTCHA administration links to forms" does not add an admin link to the shoutbox form

that is why I added it through form id

the image shows it enabled, but no Captcha displays on the shoutbox form

#3

this image shows the problem quite clearly

yes "skip captcha" is turned off

I just made a test in my localhost with the Shoutbox and CAPTCHA modules and they are working fine*. I just did what I told you in my previous post.

You can see them working in the image below

* Page rendering problem if the user enter a wrong answer to the CAPTCHA.

your demo applies the Captcha to shoutbox_add_form but I have applied it to shoutbox

that is probably the problem...

This seems to me a little pointless, most spam bots dont utilise javascript, and from what I know about shoutbox it uses ajax. Meaning the spam bots will be able to post anyway,
