XF 1.2 Read timed out after seconds [ERROR]

[Gary Gannon]

I believe this is in relation to StopForumSpam or one of the spam management systems with XenForo.

Whenever this happens spam has been stopped and placed into the moderation queue. So it looks like the attempted account registration did get stopped, but I am unsure why the error is appearing.

This is telling you that the connection to ReCAPTCHA failed. It's simply informational. In this event, the CAPTCHA check always passes.

If it's happening consistently/frequently, then it could either be that ReCAPTCHA is down or your server is blocking outgoing connections. In that case, you may want to flip to an alternative CAPTCHA approach.

Thank you.
