Kunena 6.3.0 released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.3.0 [K 6.3.0] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.4.x/5.0.x/5.1.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.3
Question [Merged topic] The great CAPTCHA problem discussion
First off, absolutely loving 1.6, it's beautiful. However, it seems to have completely broken captcha support for anonymous users. (i.e., an unregistered user should fill in the captcha when posting a message to a forum).
I followed the below instructions and have all the correct settings with Joomal Captcha, however the behaviour is not reliable.
docs.kunena.com/index.php/How_to_proper_...the_recaptcha_plugin
The Captcha does usually show up and 10% of the time it works - however, 90% of the time it tells you you have input a wrong code. Then occasionally it just shows the letters "Joomlacaptcha" and no code works at all.
Do you have any idea what is going on? I have tried disabling pretty much every plugin and module that uses Javascripts (Mootools or Jquery) and it doesn't make a difference.
My preference would be to avoid Joomla Captacha completely, which appears to be a terribly coded software with very bad instructions, and go for something like Re-Captcha.
Any idea how this can be done/whether it is possible?
Another alternative would be to re-use the old 1.5 Captcha system in 1.6, if possible? It wasn't pretty but it worked at getting rid of 99% of spam. Any way I can just copy the old Captcha code and plug it into the new 1.6 version?
Finally, something even more simplistic might also do the trick for a small site: Is it possible to code a crude new text box in post.php that simply requires the result of a simple calculation (2+2=) or a piece of static text to be entered? It does not have to be complex and I think this would avoid 99% of spam also.
Will be eternally grateful for any help - I am losing anonymous user forum engagement badly right now...
Edit: ps: Just noticed the below config has Mootools upgrade disabled. Just for clarity's sake, I have tried enabled/disabled and seemingly every other JS configuration under the sun in this...

Do you have a link to your site, like that i can test by myself ?
I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.
Thanks for your prompt reply!
The Kunena install is at www.legallyindia.com/Forum
Please feel free to post new test topics as an anonymous user (Joomla Captcha is currently enabled and shows up).
If it works the first time (which it sometimes does), please try to post again after that, when it usually gives the error message.
(also weirdly, in Chrome right now anonymous posts can not click the 'Submit' button although it works in FF and IE).
Thanks again for your help, do let me know if you have any questions.

As per tyour config report: System - Mootools Upgrade: Disabled
Because of that all Kunena JS will be disabled.
Hope thsi helps!
We love stars on the Joomla Extension Directory .
On my site the quick-reply actually works a charm (although the new mootools does conflict with Polls-XT which on IE unfortunately).
But I meant here, on Kunena.com/forum the quick reply functionality doesn't seem to work for me (at least in Firefox, haven't tried IE or Chrome). Maybe that is intentional or just some weird config on my side, not sure...
Anyway, just wanted to give a big shout out to all you amazing devs on Kunena - the new version is absolutely brilliant and users love it. And it is much faster than 1.5. Glad I picked Kunena rather than another forum, great stuff!
This is actually written as a quick reply. Please clear your browsers cache. the recent sw upgrades might not have made it into your browsers caches.
Hope this helps!

Again, any light anyone can shed on ways to fix it would be hugely appreciated.
