Forms - reCaptcha reduced effectiveness

Since last week's update to the implementation of reCaptcha on forms, it seems that the new method is preforming less effectively on blocking spam from forms.

    A patch has been released for default layouts, so next time the form is saved, the default layout will auto-update to include the fix.

    If you are using a custom layout, then you will need to slightly edit it to make sure that your submit button contains type="button", if not recaptcha will continue to prove ineffective.

    Apologies this wasn’t caught before initial release.

      Mark Anderson: Your HTML renders as type="“button”", which I think is from copying the code below.

      I've updated that to include the correct double quotes (iOS automatically formatted them!)
