I get the following error:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/forum/includes/login_form_inc.asp, line 148

The Include file '../CAPTCHA/CAPTCHA_form_inc.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory. 

One can change a setting on the server that would allow above construct, but according to my provider that is a security risk. Hence they advise to use #include virtual= 
I would kindly ask you to consider this for WWF.

This was an oversight while writing beta 1, I forgot to remove the parent paths.

This is listed in the known issues page and has been fixed for beta 2, which will also include Web Wiz CAPTCHA version 2, which is much improved over version 1.

Beta 2 should be released by the end of this month and so far has had changes made to every single ASP file.
