Hi Peter,

I've been hoping your plugin would solve the problem I've had with a few persistent registration spammers. After I installed and configured it yesterday, I was disappointed this morning when I saw that one of my usual registration spammers had once again re-registered himself despite the plugin.

I logged out of my blog and tested the registration function, and I found that it registered me and emailed me a password even when I left the "Anti-spam word" field blank!

What gives?

Good question. What gives? :P

Anyway, looks like the registration code was tweaked in WordPress 2.5 and I didn't catch on to that. However, I have now released version 3.0.6 of the plugin, which fixes the registration form protection for WP 2.5.

Guess you have the same problem with the math plugin.
Bye and thanks

Are you using version 1.0.4 of the math plugin? I implemented the same fix there.
