Thanks for the hack. Why does one need something like this?

To stop those stupid spam bots. (There is a new program that spams sites automatically for you. It makes the account, posts, etc.)
I don't need it anyway.

Well, if the bot can read the CAPTCHA in order to register -- why can't it read it in order to login?

Well, the bot hasn't been programmed to do CAPTHA at login, it was made to do it at registration.

Yeah i would only use this if your board is being targeted by spam bots. other wise it will annoy members, because even I sometimes find it hard to read those captcha images lol
