[TYPO3] tt_board and Captcha Library

Hello

We've installed Captcha Library (ext key: captcha) on our tt_board.
It _seem_ to work, in that when I enter data into the form, it tells me to
fill the captcha.
If I fill something wrong, or nothing at all, it fails, so doing as
intended.

However, we still get quite a bit of spam going through.
I've search the net and various mailing lists, the only thing I could find
was
http://www.typo3-jack.net/typo3-english-lists-netfielders-de/3366-typo3-captcha-spam-protection.html,but
no one really answered that.

I've looking through everything, checked the code, I can't see anything
wrong.
I've even tried to bypass it myself with no luck.
Tried setting form fields to GET instead of POST to try and fool it (Firefox
Webdeveloper plugin can do this), but no dice.

The spammers are, somehow, bypassing the capctha.

Have anyone seen or heard of a solution for this? Getting a bit frustrating.
