Hi!

I'm using rc_5 at the moment and no Captchas are displayed at all. The status bar says there would be "not much to do at the moment". But when I login on the 9kw.eu homepage to solve captchas or open jCatGUI_9kw I get Captchas displayed immediately and continuously. So the workload should be there.

Could you please look into this?
I really like the concept of your app and the thoughts you put into the user interface!

Thanks in advance!
Merlin

P.S.: All other parts of the program seem to work just fine under Windows 8.1, too.

System used: Win 8.1 Pro x64, Java Build 1.7.0_60-b19

    I will need to check this with 9kw support.

    For the "not much to do" display, I am using an API call that tells me how many active users there are and how many captchas there are in the queue. Whenever the response tells me there are less than 10 captchas (and a few more rules), the interval between server queries is extended. This was implemented to reduce network traffic and server load.
    AFAIK, jCatGUI_9kw is kind of more aggressive in querying for new captchas, independent of user and captcha count.

    Just wanted to let you know that everything works fine since a while, so this "bug" (if it ever was :)) is probably closed! :)

    Thank you!
