    What other plugins and theme do you use on the site?

    Hello, this is due to a recent update to the Contact Form 7 Image CAPTCHA Pro plugin which I developed.
    Those fields are supposed to be hidden, but due to browser caching and site caching through speed optimization plugins, some people are seeing those fields. Simply clear the cache to fix the styling issue so that the updated plugin styles will take effect.

    Those fields are part of an improved honeypot method to catch spammers.
    When a user interacts with the form (mouse click, mouse move, keypress), the Captain Sisko field gets cleared, so when a bot pragmatically fills the form, that field does not get empty. If the field is empty the forms submits, if not then the form was filled by a bot.

    For my part, I will make a quick update to the plugin that will force browsers and caching plugins to use the updated styles.
