Hello,
I just was working with new Forum user. I have noticed that captcha has been added, which is fine due to big amount of spam in the past.

Anyway I have still 2 issues:
1. I believe that e-mail confirmation should be enough to remove captcha, but it isn't
2. This captcha is really difficult for human. We needed more than 2 attempts to guess it properly

Hi Krzysztof ... I didn't understand the first issue.   In practice, simple e-mail confirmation has proven not to be sufficient to provide captcha, so we needed something stronger.   So this isn't an "issue", but just an unfortunate fact.  Or did I misunderstand the point you were making in issue 1?   Issue 2 is clear.

I just tried registering a new user, and the captcha was easy/trivial.   Could you post a screenshot of the captcha that was challenging, so we can see if maybe it was a browser issue?

I noticed in the past, that my brain/visual system has issues with captchas. However, I can usually request a new one, if I am not sure.

many times on othjer sites, I will go thru 10/15 images til I can figure one out..  they all have the circle image to request another one.  most of the times for me it is contrast issues..
