Kunena 7.1.0 Released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 7.1.0 [K 7.1.0] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 5.4.x/6.0.x./6.1.x./6.2.x This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 / K 6.4 / K7.0 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 7.1
Just a reminder: K6.4.16 receives only securities fixes until end of 2026, so it's advised for users to upgrade to K7.1.
Question [Merged topic] The great CAPTCHA problem discussion
I have just installed K 1.6 stable and it works well but joomlacaptcha is still not working.
Has anyone been able to mull on this at all, maybe also with a quick hack to re-integrate the old captcha?
The CAPTCHA plug-in is not enabled or not properly configured.
EDIT: My apologize. I have overlooked this
plugin is nammed Sytem - Captcha. In the plugin parameters on the right, you have the possibility to define a lot of settings for this plugin, in our case the most interesting thing is in the bottom, which is nammed Enabled Captcha. Just put in this field kunena.post, set enabled for the plugin state and hit the button save
Now it finally works!

Read my blog and
I have just installed captcha to protect my 1.6 kunena forum. I used wiki procedure and it works properly.
BUT
When the code is wrong, the form for new post is refreshed but without text.
Did I forgot to configure something ?
Thanks

I sort of got it to work on my site but only with a very dirty and un-captcha hack.
Basically I edited the Joomlacaptcha code to only generate a static captcha with a code that never changes.
Then I changed the Kunena php core code to basically not talk to Joomlacaptcha anymore but just to check whether the entered code equals the static never-changing code.
Of course, this is not really secure and not really a captcha anymore technically, but it seems to work so far in stopping spam although it's easily circumvented...
If anyone is interested in the code, please let me know and I will try to dig out changes and post, although it is far from an ideal solution.
The problem seemed to be that for some reason Kunena was not talking properly to Joomlacaptcha to exchange information. No idea why alas
