I would guess to clear your browser's cache.

@ffmad, works fine for me. Appears to be just you. Try clearing your cache and reconnecting.

Hmm try disabling the plugin.

Did you activate features without inserting an API key?

i've activated only the captcha api

I'm unsure, as I've never only ran just the Captcha API. Disable the plugin and see what happens next.

There is also a registration question plugin that adds a custom question on the registration page. I found that in conjunction with spam be gone works really well.

@ffmad, that's good to hear.

@Scuzz, I'll be sure to keep it in mind if need be later on. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hi, same problem with my nBB.

spam-be-gone installed.

I'm not familiar with honeypot and I don't find obvious the way to obtain a Key.
Is it possible to have some tips for that one ?

Sign up for an account, then click this link, it will take you to a captcha form, enter the captcha form, and you'll get a 12 character access key, put that into the Honeypot settings in the plugin.

Obvious and easy, thanks a lot @a_5mith !

Needs multi language support. Wouldn't work on a non English speaking forum that doesn't know what a folder is. For example.
