On the last version all the users had to input that as well, but for whatever reason I can't find where to enable it again.
 
I did the database conversion which was successful, what am I missing here?
 
Thanks, everything looks great!

It is enabled but a new system is used so that it is only necessary to enter a CAPTCHA code after the 3rd un-successful login attempt on an account.

This way users don't have the hassle of entering the CAPTCHA code, but it is still in use to prevent dictionary and brute force hacking on an account.

I've always been a fan of WWF, and this version 8 is even better than ever.
 
I don't see an answer to this yet - if we've been using the beta version, what is required to update to RC1?
 
Thanks!

There were big warning signs all over the beta download page saying not to use it on live servers as you may not be able to upgrade.

The only option now to upgrade the beta version is to go through the version history file and make the database changes manually in the database, then replace all the files with that of the new version.

boRg;

I wasn't complaining at all, and don't have the beta on a live server. I was just wondering of the scripts/database had changed enough that it would be more efficient to overwrite everything and re-apply any personalizations.
