Thanks to my friend Todd, I/he realized that the Protectwebform.com’s CAPTCHA Wordpress Plugin I had previously installed apparently didn’t work in Safari, which is not a lot of users but still, quite a few.
The new Wordpress Plugin called ReCaptcha that I am using is working perfectly in Safari, Firefox and IE. Plugin can be downloaded here.
The interesting tidbit about ReCAPTCHA is that while you enter in the words it actually helps digitize books… Quite interesting, definitely read their explanation.
Anyways, to inform you, since Todd didn’t know…
The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and John Langford of Carnegie Mellon University. At the time, they developed the first CAPTCHA to be used by Yahoo.
