Thread:Extension talk:ConfirmEdit/ReCaptcha and FancyCaptcha bouncing back after correct answer!? Ie. they are broken.

Hello, since MediaWiki appears to recommend this extension and this extension only for bot blocking, I hope someone will hop on this one real fast :)

Ever since I installed MW in this instance, I've had a problem with ReCaptcha where after correctly answering, or answering in general, the page would reload as if you had just hit submit, eg. for an edit, for another round of Captcha. I am pretty floored that I've never been able to find another account of this particular problem since it's basically a game breaker.

For a while I reverted to SimpleCaptcha since it works. But lately bots are becoming a nuisance so I gotta get some better defenses up before I go nuts. This morning I went thru the process of setting up FancyCaptcha (not so crazy about Google myself) but it bounces back just like ReCaptcha, suggesting the problem is in the ConfirmEdit end.

Until I get somewhere on this edits requiring Captcha will just not go thru. The wiki hasn't really caught fire just yet, so hopefully no one will be too bothered, but this is a problem nonetheless that needs to be documented on this page at the least.
