Fixing a Broken Captcha in Joomla 2.5 and 3
If you're like me, you have a "captcha" function on your contact form where your users have to type in the squiggly letters to prove that they're human and not spam bots.
This is a good thing. Using Captchas ;can greatly reduce the amount of spam you receive. This tutorial shows you how to use captchas with Joomla.
However, many of these forms (including mine) stopped working because Google changed the URL used for ReCaptchas.
This is mostly impacting Joomla 2.5 and 3.0+ sites at the minimum. This fix will be included in the next Joomla 3 release but in the meantime, it's not good to have a broken contact form.
