I noticed my custom captcha stuff is gone. I guess it got lost in an
upgrade? What are we doing for captcha now? If we only have default
captcha, we'd be getting flooded with spam accounts. Do I need to
re-integrate the custom captcha stuff or do we have another solution now?

Sorry, I didn't notice your custom code when updating. Re-integration
is a good idea if it's not too much work. I've removed hundreds of
spam accounts by making a search for old accounts that have a webpage
url and 0 posts.

I reuploaded the changes. For future reference, the files in Sources
with customisations are:
Register.php
PersonalMessage.php
ManageRegistration.php
Subs.php
Let me know whenever you do an upgrade so I can make sure all my changes
survived.
Hopefully the 1.1.x line is mature and updates are infrequent. We
shouldn't upgrade to 2.0. I made a ton of customisations that wouldn't
be compatible, and I kind of prefer the look of 1.1 over 2.0 anyway.
The captcha url has mycode=4 added to it, and the register page has
extra hidden mycode=2 through 5 images so any automated thing wouldn't
know which one to pick. Everything that uses captcha has to have that
mycode=4 thing added. Something in sending personal messages also uses
captcha.
