I have used this form builder since forever and usually have no problems. All forms working with the recaptcha were working fine until today. Every single form on a dozen or so sites come up with the "could not open socket" error all of a sudden.
I took the captcha out and all is well and good. So why did this happen? Works fine and then doesn't?
Another suggestion for putting in some kind of captcha...(that might be a little easier since often the words are hard to read for a lot of people)..
Thanks ahead of time!
I have never seen that error before, but it sounds like Google may have had some issues. You can see other people talking about that over the years.

You could use Regular Expressions as a CAPTCHA instead. Put some text like "2+4=" and then in the Regular Expression, only allow the number 6. You could do that with words as well.
