Have you searched for your problem: Yes, this has been an issue for a very long time!
If so, what terms did you try: category link
State the nature of your problem:
My users have been complaining about the registration captcha. The problem is that when they receive an error and must go back and fix it (for instance, "this email address has already been registered"), the security code is changing but the image is not, so the next time they hit submit, they get the error that the security code doesn't match. Refreshing the registration page seems to solve the problem, as it forces the captcha image to refresh, so I added a note to the language file suggesting they try refreshing the page.
I don't know how to do it, but it seems that either the registration page needs to be forced to refreshed (can you do that with the javascript "try again" link?) or the captcha needs to stop changing on them.
So it's only doing this on the register page? I just used contact us page on your site and the captcha seemed to work just fine.
Just registered on your site (you can delete me).
I guess I should try to get the captcha wrong huh... Okay I created another account called "Test" (please delete that one) and deliberately mistyped the code, but clicking the Try again AND clicking the refresh button pulled up a new number that I typed correctly. Maybe your users might have to clear their cookies when trying if it really isn't changing the code for them.
