IE - Works

Mozilla - Works

Netscape - Works

Flock - Works

Slim Browser - Works

Opera - Does NOT Work
That quite simply does not make sense; all the code it uses is server-side (meaning the browser will never even know it existed) and then basic HTML which all browsers support. Exactly how is it "not working", anyway? Does the question not appear or what?

I believe somebody posted earlier in the thread that it works fine with 3.6.5; I would be very surprised if it did not, either way, considering I don't believe any of the files that this hack contains plugins in were changed at all.

There are three possible explanations for this.
a) Your questions aren't good enough. What questions are you using?
b) The spammers at your forum are legitimate human beings or had legitimate human beings register for them, in which case I'm afraid there is no stopping them. Is there anything making you believe they are definitely bots?
c) You forgot to turn it on in the Admin CP. :P

As I have said, this hack is theoretically impossible for a computer at even the most advanced level of AI known in the world today to bypass, as long as the administrator makes up varied enough questions. Thus, if it doesn't stop spam at your forums, nothing will. :/
