Seems like a good plugin so far. I like the fact it is simple and free! (Given that Akismet can be a bit expensive now).
A couple of basic suggestions for improvement: the maths check is placed *after* the submit button, which is not great for usability. Far better if it could come before the submit button. I know this is probably achievable if you implement a custom comments template, but if you don’t have that, it seems hard to do.
Also, the language of the default instructions said “the following maths question” when the maths question was above it –?you might want to tweak that. (Again, I know this one is very easy for us to tweak by editing the message too).

]]>Hi, we’ve been using block spam for a month or so with no spam coming through, then did the wordpress 3.4 update and suddenly getting LOTS of spam, about 30 a day.
Any ideas why this may be?

]]>While I can see the apparent css, can’t get anything to work.
The field on my login’s are very small, and I want to change the border color also. Could you please explain where and how I need to do the css or whatever to do this?
The thing I also don’t get is why wasn’t the field created in the first place to match the login?
Thanks

]]>This plugin simply does not work. You enter the correct question, it just clears the form and tells you you got it wrong.
]]>Even new members answer math question right, script tells that the answer is wrong.
]]>Found out, that BSBM broke the functionality of wp menues. I could add links but not edit or delete existing links. Have removed the plugin.
]]>The recent update to the plugin now requires one register with the author’s site. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be fully-baked: I received an error after filling in the evaluation form, but got an email confirmation anyway…. except that the mechanism used to register didn’t take and the plugin kept nagging me to register. Ugh.
I tried responding to the email address from the author’s “registration” message, but that bounced with a fatal error. I wish I could find the older version as it worked.
]]>I am using login-with-ajax plugin for registration.
Error messages are not showing if I intend to leave the security question unanswered or use a wrong answer. It just hangs.
Registration with correct answer goes through fine.
