Hmm, I just tried registering. - first try failed with bad code, unsure why - second try too - third try ... showed me a captcha with 20 letters, some of them in the background... thanks. - fourth try I entered uppercase letters: the captcha seems to be case sensitive. Once entering upper case letters it worked. I would suggest a note "letters are case sensitive" might be in order. Ciao, Marcus
