Firefox screen shot of broken registration captcha

The registration process requests a "Security Key" to be typed in.  There is no image to go along with that field.  See the two screen shots.  In all the idea of captchas is stupid and should be removed, but at least fix it so that it works with regular browsers.

not only registration (main trouble), but also commenting as well.

I wanted to register today, and got the same bug. I hope it will be fixed soon!

I suggest a better way to control registrations, or at least an alternative such as written questions "what is fifteen minus ten" etc.

Still a problem: I was hoping to write to an artist whose image I'd like to use. However the broken captcha is preventing me from making contact.

Closing all openclipart bugs as openclipart is now on launchpad, as per request from  Jon Philips.

It is good that there is housecleaning of aged bugs.

Closed, yes.  Resolved, no.  Can a link be provided to the new location of the bug?

If one does not exist, how about a top-level link to the openclipart bug tracker on launchpad?
