Hello,
Your Facebook connect plugin conflicts with SI CAPTCHA. It hides HTML block containing the CAPTCHA challenge making it impossible to solve the CAPTCHA. Please fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Okay. Here's the suggested fix: Stop using SI CAPTCHA.
Captcha's are ineffective at preventing comment spam anyway. Scanning methods such as Akismet or blocking methods such as Cookies-For-Comments will work better.

I always use both Aksimet and captcha. Aksimet itself does not satisfy me. Well, I’ll try out the other way with cookies, but it’s easy to hack since you only need to accept a cookie and post it back in your spam bot…
It's a bit more complex than that, but you'd be surprised at how effective this process is and how useless spam bots actually are. Low hanging fruit and all that.

Beleive or not, but CAPTCHA works significally more effectively for me. Yeah, Aksimet blocks tens of spam messages a day marking them as spam, but CAPTCHA even does not let those to appear.
I’ll keep on using Aksimet.
CAPTCHAs block more real people than they do bots. Proven. Documented.
You can reduce your spam with a CAPTCHA, sure, but you also reduce the conversation as a whole and eliminate a large section of your audience.
Most CAPTCHAs also violate various handicapped accessibility laws, if you're subject to such things. Most aren't, but it's something to keep in mind.
