I do not mind showing ads for money...In fact this is a very good idea just to create my own ads and show to my own
members, and i keep all the money..and captcha is crap...you need to allow members to setup their own random
questions....any computer can figure out letters on the screen, but how many can figure out what the color of the
sun is, or the color of the grass? I have had the same questions on my forum for months now, and not one bot
that I am aware of has gotten past the actual random questions...captcha is useless....

I installed this a few hours ago and it worked fine. Even my solve media control panel showed me that I received 30 type ins (made $0 though..). However, it suddenly stopped working for no reason and now my users are unable to sign up. I had to disable this because of that.

Any idea why this would happen ? I do have HTTP-X-FORWARDED-IP set through my reverse proxy so I doubt that's the issue.. Any ideas ?

Alright, I've managed to fix it, here's what I did:

Replace in class_humanverify_solvemedia.php (Line 30):
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
with:
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_REAL_IP']

Maybe you should include a check for $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REAL_IP'] or $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] in your script.. ?
