Some more info..

One of my new users reported the same issue to me too. I looked into it and found the following when the forum is embedded (inside a Google Site):
Google Chrome v19 - OK.. Captcha code image shows and new users can register just fine
Mozilla Firefox v9 - No Captcha code image is displayed at all therefore new users cannot register
Microsoft Internet Explorer v9 - Broken image link is displayed instead of the Captcha code image therefore new users cannot register
All on the same Windows 7 computer using Java SE 7 Update 4 (also same with Java SE 6 Update 30)
All with the instructions listed here followed.

Workaround is to use Google Chrome when you have an embedded forum OR open the forum in a new window and register there.. the Captcha code image is displayed fine in Firefox and IE when the forum is not embedded. To open in a new window, right click the forum title and open link in new window.
