I have QuestyCaptcha working on

What happens if you use a
different captcha module? I'd like to know
if this is a problem with the extension or the module.
I don't know. If I get a moment, I will try to find out and reply.
No captcha
challenge, just a time out. I like that. Is there an
extension I can install that will do that on my wiki (nothing in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version seemed obvious to me)?
$wgPasswordAttemptThrottle
I see, on
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPasswordAttemptThrottle,
that "Memcached must be enabled for this setting to work properly." My
wiki is a low usage wiki on a shared Web hosting account and I think
Memcached may be more than I want to attempt. So I guess I should not
try $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle.
