Custom Recaptcha - cannot connect to service was created by cherryboy
A few of our users have reported issues with Captcha. In order to try and find the issue I have installed Custom reCaptcha as it has the option to force a challenge. 

Using it as normal by loading the screen that has the captcha a few times I can get it to display the challenge pictures. I can select the correct pictures, get past the captcha and move on. 

However when I switch on the force challenge option I always get an error - cannot connect to recaptcha service. 

I suspect the production site that had an invisible captcha (now switched off) was getting a similar issue

The custom reCaptcha plugin adds the 'fallback' attribute to the URL connecting to Google's API. I don't see and can't find out why it would break the connection to the service.

What I would suggest is go back to your Google account and set the security preference to 'most secure'. That should trigger the challenges more often.

Then, check 'send alerts to owners' to receive detailed information from Google about the state of your configuration. If something is wrong, it should tell you and you'll have a better idea why there is an issue with some of your users.
