Update: Im doing whatever I can, and thanks for everyones help. Invision (the makers of the forum software) released a patch, and I applied this a couple of days ago. This helped but obviously there is still some problem. According to Invision the issue is affecting thousands of boards across the net right now. Obviously the Spesoft Forums are substantial enough to attract spammers. Invision is releasing a new version of the board anytime now, and this will use http://recaptcha.net/ Once the new version is released we will upgrade. So its not being ignored. I can hardly read the captcha's as is either. I often get them wrong, and Im not even middle aged yet! Cheers. Tom. EDIT: Just for your info, the forums do already use a Captcha system, and have from day one.
