[ZendTo] Re: Trial release of new code for ZendTo 4.12-1

[Eythor Thorsteinsson]

I'm trying out the new version, and just want to mention two things:

- I really like the new reCAPTCHA!! Night and day. I had disabled the captcha, actually, but I can comfortably enable that now.
- I had to purge the templates_c directory ... which I presume have cached templates. Otherwise I was not able to get our logo, or other things from zendto.conf working.

Thanks for the new version.
