Hi,

I have seen that this issue had risen once, way back on 2007. I am trying it on Drupal 7.x now. I tried searching for solutions, but can't login into my offline site, as the image won't appear in the login page.

I admit I should have been careful when configuring captcha types. Here is the version information from the .info file:

; $Id: captcha.info,v 1.10 2010/11/16 22:26:27 soxofaan Exp $
name = CAPTCHA
description = Base CAPTCHA module for adding challenges to arbitrary forms.
package = "Spam control"
core = 7.x
configure = admin/config/people/captcha

files[] = captcha.module
files[] = captcha.inc
files[] = captcha.admin.inc
files[] = captcha.install
files[] = captcha.test

; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2010-11-20
version = "7.x-1.0-alpha1"
core = "7.x"
project = "captcha"
datestamp = "1290295539"

Have I missed something? Any insights?

Thanks and Regards,
ViHAR

An image is worth several words. Here is a screenshot of the problem.

normally, when in maintenance mode, Image CAPTCHA should fall back to simple math CAPTCHA.

#133548: Image not available when site is offline for maintenance

Yes, you are right. This was the case in Dr5.x when the issue was resolved by having a Math Captcha fallback for maintenance mode. I expected the same here, but now I think it's Dr7 causing the issue. Can I help by providing more information? Not sure where to look though.

Apparently, the 'site_offline' variable from D6 was renamed to 'maintenance_mode' in D7,
that's why the feature stopped working.
Should be fixed by http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=456604

thanks for reporting
