Description of problem

I am unable to register or contact the Admin of the forum with a message. The error message is:
We could not validate that you are not a spammer, Please try again.

The same message after three tries and the same message when trying the contact option.

Hello,

Have you completed the Captcha anti-spam system that is required for you to send a message?

You have to click one of the arrows on the side and then click the button below the image when you see the word done.

I don't get to see a captcha in registration or when I use the option to contact the Admin. I enter a User Name, email info and password and Reentering the Password again when I get the message We could not validate that you are not a spammer. I retried three times with same result. I used a different user name and two different email addresses with the same results. I am not a spammer for I can log into gmail and lots of websites without problems. and am not on the spam list as far as I know. If I am I want to know why.

It seems I supposed to look for a Captcha. I do not see an image, captcha or the word done. The statement/error appears straight after I Reenter the password as asked...Rather than repeating myself, please try to Register yourself than explain to the Admin that it was a Test should you succeed.

Maybe the forum is set to holiday mode which doesn't allow new members or posts.. Can we have the link to the forum please?

It appears to be the same. I note that Steve the Admin also reported this. Since I am watching this post, please state here when it is fixed so New Members can Register and Join otherwise it is not worth having a forum..
