CAPTCHA is triggered after 3 wrong attempts. (Just tested in Chrome, where I don't have auto-login). Also deleted cookies, and that had no impact.

Is this going to happen every time now? Or every once in a while?
It’s been there all along (for registration and repeated log-in attempts), but there seems to be some glitch causing it to pop up prematurely – I got it when logging into the admin panel yesterday.

Good to see things have carried on as normal in my absence (and the amount of spam has continued to flow seemingly unabated).

It's been an interesting RL(tm) week, hence I've not been on the board at all, and might not be around much for a little while yet, but I'll be here first when I do...
