Unfortunately on my website no link to the CB pages like "personal profile" does work. "Direct Access to this location is not allowed." is what I get.
I searched the forum and found: "This error means most likely that you have no installed the proper CB Captcha plugin." Next step was trying to download the plugin, but it is for subcribers only.
I cannot believe that. Why offer a free version when it does not work without the plugin one needs a paid subscription for?
Don't get me wrong, I would subscribe, but this feels very strange.

The free version that was made available was for Joomla 1.0. Since then there have been many Joomla releases.
Latest CB Captcha version is offered as a paid plugin or as part of our membership subscriptions.

At the time I paid for a documentation subscription and added GroupJive and several other features. Seemed like a great deal for my client at the time. This year my client has seen a major increase in spam subscriptions and wants to add captcha. I have no need of the documentation subscription again, and so I will have to tell my client that it's going to cost him $100+ to add a capability that is available from your competitors for free. Dissatisfied customers hurt my business, so I will need to use something else.
I realize you created CB to make money, but it seems to me that once a user has paid for documentation for a particular version of CB then they should have that same access permanently. Asking users to pay another $100 for access to the same stuff they could have previously downloaded for the $100 they paid previously is penny wise and pound foolish. Word of mouth is going to cost you more than you gain from such a policy.
I will be posting my feedback on CB to joomla.org. I encourage all who read this who are dissatisfied to do likewise.
