                This fails. If a registered user reports a post an error is tossed

                Fatal error: Call to a member function validate() on a non-object in /home/rmcgirr8/public_html/report.php on line 149

                because within report.php the captcha is only set if the user is not registered but this line

                $visual_confirmation_response = $captcha->validate();
                if ($visual_confirmation_response)

                { $error[] = $visual_confirmation_response; }

                doesn't check if the user is registered or not...hence the error
