Hi, I've just set up the forum on my local machine and all went well. However after I log in as Administrator and click the Admin link, I am asked to log in again (admin.asp) and this process fails.
 
The error is...
 
"The Security Code entered did not match that displayed. A new Security Code has been generated."
 
It's obviously something to do with Captcha, but does anyone know why I can't log in to the admin area?  I am typing the Captcha code as is, case sensitive etc. so I can't see what's giving me this error. Any help would be appreciated, it looks like a great application.

Brilliant, that was it. I changed  localhost to 127.0.0.1 and it works.
 
Thanks for the speedy reply, great support!
