Hey Dave,
Sorry for the huge wait time on this. Just been digging myself out from under a pile of work.
Yup! This is because you'll need to update the View(s) to show the new fields. Views are really powerful in that you can totally customize what fields can be seen and edited by users, but the one drawback is that they're not linked to the database fields directly. So when you modify the database to add fields, they won't automatically show up in the Views. (Deleting fields DOES remove them from the Views, though).
This is a significant nuisance, I'll admit. In my own experience, re-configuring Views after adding new DB fields can be a real time-waster, especially when you have lots and lots of Views.
I have a couple of solutions which I may well apply in a future release.
I believe the only way to do this would be to re-skin it using a custom theme, or another theme that is built in. Give the "Look & Feel Customization" section a read over on this page:
http://recaptcha.net/apidocs/captcha/client.html
Hope this helps, and again, sorry for the wait.

Quote:How can I resize the captcha? Right now it is too big for the form. Is there a minimum width?
