Using OSX Leopard.

Safari, Opera, FF, browers same thing. No registration image. Reset cache, cookies etc. checked Java. Everything. No image. Just blue box GIF with question mark.

That was last night. This morning there was a cognitive-style captcha rather: take prefix from 'somewhere' and what do you get? sort of thing. Fine.

Just thought I'd let you know.

So I'm registered (after many years hiatus) again.

There should never be an image capatcha. Who were you before?

I can't remember who I was. Searched your member list to see a familiar name, but none of them rang a bell. Searched my email accounts. I must have done some zealous box-cleaning. So I just re-registered as a new user, but the 'registration image', which I'm calling a 'captcha' for convenience, would not show.

This morning there was the question-style 'captcha'.

It vaguely occurs to me I was on a fake site, but having reset everything, last night's site visits are gone. I can check my Opera and FF history though.

Edit: I've examined the Firefox version of PP registration. Similar problem. It goes something like this:

'Please enter the six letters or digits that appear in the image opposite.________Registration Image Refresh Image'

But there is no image, and the Refresh button doesn't bring one up.
