The reCaptcha example for ASP.NET does not seem to work. I followed the instructions but it always returns false, "The verification words are incorrect.".

The entries are good. I'm using localhost as the site but am not getting any public/private key errors which I did get when adding a bad key (as a test).

I've seen this error reported a lot but no good answers. Some suggest to call the validate on the control before checking to see if it is valid but this did not work for me.
