Description
Here is the situation:
If someone browses to the site with javascript already turned on, Hashcash allows them to post.
If someone browses to the site with javascript turned off, gets the error message, then turns javascript on in order to post, they're still treated as though javascript was turned off in their browser.
My site uses aggressive caching in order to handle the traffic and I'm wondering if maybe Hashcash is storing a "THIS BROWSER DOESN'T USE JAVASCRIPT" message in cache somewhere, so it doesn't bother testing the poster a second (or third, or fourth) time around.
Or it could be some other problem completely unrelated to site caching, but that was my first thought.
#1
Hmmm, I've not experienced this. Hashcash definitely doesn't record whether or not a user has Javascript enabled. What browser have you found this issue with? The new 6.x-2.3 version may fix this - you'll need to reload the page (possibly twice) after enabling Javascript though.

I'll update to 2.3 and start collecting more specific data from my users/unwitting test group. :-)
