The CAPTCHA field on the Freelish.us account registration page does not show up in either Firefox 3.6.x or Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. Attempting to submit the registration form presents the user with an error that the CAPTCHA doesn't match.

In the Firefox error console, the following error appears: Error: Recaptcha is not defined
Source File: https://freelishus.status.net/main/register
Line: 222

Same problem on identi.ca : no CAPTCHA image is shown, and therefore the registration fails.

This is not a status.net issue. The js is loaded from https://api-secure.recaptcha.net/ , which (currently) seems to have an invalid SSL certificate - if you go to https://api-secure.recaptcha.net/ and manually accept the certificate (not suggesting that that is a smart thing to do), the captcha will work again.
