Help please! CAPTCHA wordpress integration

Is there a way to integrate the captcha with the regular wordpress blog signin, and comment form?  It doesn't seem to display in either of those locations.  I receive a lot of spam and attempted fake registrations, and I'd rather use one plugin for everything. 

Conversely I was using Captcha Bank, and it works wonderfully for everything except the sign-in for the simplepress forums, where the captcha displays at the top of the forum block, and when you press login it stays up there and doesn't let you enter the captcha.  On the next  screen, after you hit the login button, where it has you enter your info again,  it works properly though.

I would be happy getting either of those methods working.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

afraid not on the comment form... comments are not really part of the forum... you can add the captcha form to the wp registration form on forum - components - login and registration...

another option for the registrations would be to moderate your registrations with a plugin for wp such as theme my login... but the captcha should help too...

Hi thanks for the fast reply:) 

Alright, so since I can't use the simplepress captcha, I'll have to use something else. 

I've been using Captcha Bank up until installing simplepress, but like I said, it displays oddly on the forum pages.  Up at the top prior to clicking the initial login button, and after, with no option to fill the captcha in.  Is there a way I could integrate it so that it displays/works properly on the simplepress login?  (Or else is there a way to exclude it from said login and the forum?)

what does display oddly on forum pages mean??   there is not registration page shown on forum pages...  if its within the simple press inline login form (just a redisplay of the wp login form), you can disable that in your spHead.php template file of the theme you are using...

just remove the:

        sp_LoginForm($loginForm);

template function call from your sp theme... as always, we recommend you have your own theme vice editing our themes... see:  http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/

This is what I mean by oddly: Image Enlarger

and then after you click on login:Image Enlarger

Is there a way to fix it do you think?

again, think its overly greedy plugin adding that... how to fix the plugin? dont know...  but you may be able to work around it as I said by disabling the inline login form...
