I know that you can use CAPTCHAs with Freeform (I have done it before), but for some reason it’s not appearing right now. In the control panel, these are all the preferences I have set to yes:
• Enable Membership Captcha
• Enable CAPTCHAs for Tell-a-Friend and Contact emails
• Require captcha with logged-in members?

My code for the CAPTCHA is like so:

{if captcha}
<strong><font color="#FF0000">*</font>For security, enter the word you see below</strong><br />
{captcha} <input type="text" name="captcha" maxlength="20" style="width:140px;" />
{/if}

If I take out the CAPTCHA conditional a CAPTCHA image does show up, but you can submit the page without filling it in. Any ideas why this isn’t working? I am running EE 1.5.2 and Freeform 2.5.2.

James, can you upgrade to EE 1.6. so we’re all using the same codebase? I don’t see anything obviously wrong with your code.
