As I recall, the captcha works as a popup, but many people block those. So it also is set to show a link that you can open. in another window or tab. With the current forum setup we were limited on how to display the captcha.

The captcha ends up showing a link to a .jpg, copy that and open it in a new tab. That's how I got here.

I agree it needs to be fix though.

Unfortunately the captcha image has never been directly clickable as the forum software doesn't support it :( I've altered the text to make it more obvious that you have to copy the link into a new browser window.
