CE Build 444

I recieve this error whenever I try to create a page using the ribbon bar's Insert Page method (not hitting new from the actions) and the page I'm on has a CAPTCHA control on it (In this case I have a FormMaster 2008 form on the page that is using captcha).

Captchas has had some issues with .Net 4 in the past.  Were you running .Net 2 or 4 app pool?  

Also do you know if this arrangement worked in 5.6.x, or is it new to 6.0?

We are currently running the CTP under ASP.NET 2.0 app pool.  The captcha (in this module) worked fine in 5.6.2 and it's one we use alot.  I'm trying to find a DNN core module right now that uses captcha so I can see if it's an independant problem with FormMaster or if it's a Core issue.

Let me just confirm... this is a core DNN issue. The same Captcha error occurs on some of the base dnn modules like Events and Blog. It's not specific to FormMaster2008.
