Hey @avidnewmedia,
It’s possible we need an update there! The first thing that comes to mind is this other post where someone ran into issues with the custom reCAPTCHA:
Could you take a look and let us know if that looks like what you ran into? If not, could you please share your full form code (I know you said you’ve removed it for now, but if you have it in git and could drop it here for us to take a look, that’s be super helpful)?
