 * I’m using PhotoContest version 1.5.6 and some users are getting an error code
   when they go to type the captcha code. I have tried turning that feature off 
   in the setting page but they still get the error code. I believe that these people
   are having the error in IE. Thanks for any help!

 * I’m having the same issue. It has been working fine on my test server and now
   it’s giving captcha errors. Tis is happening on every browser at the moment but
   it’s working after a few attempts. I’m going to do a bit more fiddling if I figure
   it out I will post my fix here.

 * So, it’s really doubtful this will help anyone but here’s why it wasn’t working
   for me.
 * I created a rewrite rule so the voting would be help on a little more subtle 
   url
 * I am assuming the rewrite rule does not carry over the cookie which is used to
   validate the captcha or unique id
 * So when you went to vote the captcha was null and never matched up.
 * I disabled my rewrite rule for voting and it is now working fine.
