You need to sign up for your own reCAPTCHA key. It's tied to your domain.
You can pick from one of the four standard reCAPTCHA skins. Although I realize now I screwed up; it turns out the "clean" skin is much wider than the rest and it dorks up the page format. Sigh.
Oh well. Any theme should look fine with the "red", "white" or "blackglass" themes.
How do you troubleshoot: "The reCAPTCHA extension is not configured properly. Please contact the admin and report this problem." Where would the log messages appear? Thank you.
Double-check your public and private reCAPTCHA keys and make sure they match the ones you got when you signed up at recaptcha.net. Apparently I was taking a brain vacation and decided that I shouldn't be exposing the details of those errors to the end-user. I'll put out a fix soon.
The problem was line 80 of default.php. 'incorrect_captcha_sol' should be 'incorrect-captcha-sol' with dashes instead of underscores. I was intentionally typing the wrong captcha response to see the error message, but it was giving me the configuration error as the $resp->error was not matching.
Works great now after making the above change! Thanks for the extension!
Addon works great, except when you get the captcha wrong - it will say "The reCAPTCHA extension is not configured properly. Please contact the admin and report this problem." which is misleading.
I have the same problem (not configured properly message when you enter nothing in the form and hit ). Not sure if this is related in any way, but I'm also running Mark's applicant discovery extension (Applicant Discovery 1.2), but not guestpost (installed but disabled)
EDIT: IGNORE... issue resolved in post above. In line 82 of defaut.php replace if ( 'incorrect_captcha_sol' == $resp->error ) { with if ( 'incorrect-captcha-sol' == $resp->error ) { Can someone else perhaps update this add-on? (the extension screen says it's on vanilla-friends, but don't think it is yet... http://code.google.com/p/vanilla-friends/ )
i switched from Captcha to reCaptcha and the configuration / settings is appearing globally and not restricted to administrator or any permission. my normal members can turn it off if they want to...

When the captcha is right, it goes through fine.
