In early July, I submitted a support request (#92176) of:

We are trying to add recaptcha to or registration. I click both recaptcha options and test.

The registration screen displays - without any recaptcha. When I submit, it displays The Captcha code does not match. Please try again.

Hi John,
I have upgraded jomsocial to latest version 3.2.0.7 but no luck.
I refer this to our one expert.
Thanks

I have heard nothing since. This is a major problem for us. We are overrun with bots doing false registrations. We MUST have a solution. I prefer not to hack your code. We have upgraded to the latest version, 3.2.1.3

Yes, that's what I used. Note that recaptcha appeared on the registration screen. The error appeared after I had entered the recaptcha characters and clicked Next. The message certainly seemed to come from JomSocial.

Curiouser and curiouser as Alice said. I just tried it again - still using Chrome and W7. And it worked! No idea what might have changed. We will leave it active and monitor registration attempts. Thank you for your help.
