If the board is closed and someone enters the wrong password several times the captcha in the login form is missing.

Possible fix: Open global.php and find:

if($mybb->settings['boardclosed'] == 1 && $mybb->usergroup['cancp'] != 1 && !($current_page == "member.php" && ($mybb->input['action'] == "login" || $mybb->input['action'] == "do_login" || $mybb->input['action'] == "logout")))

Replace with:

if($mybb->settings['boardclosed'] == 1 && $mybb->usergroup['cancp'] != 1 && !($current_page == "captcha.php" || ($current_page == "member.php" && ($mybb->input['action'] == "login" || $mybb->input['action'] == "do_login" || $mybb->input['action'] == "logout"))))

proposed fixed. Find:

if($mybb->settings['boardclosed'] == 1 && $mybb->usergroup['cancp'] != 1 && !($current_page == "member.php" && ($mybb->input['action'] == "login" || $mybb->input['action'] == "do_login" || $mybb->input['action'] == "logout"))) 

replace with

$closed_bypass = array(
	"member.php" => array(
		"login",
		"do_login",
		"logout",
	),
	"captcha.php",
);

if($mybb->settings['boardclosed'] == 1 && $mybb->usergroup['cancp'] != 1 && !in_array($current_page, $closed_bypass) && (!is_array($closed_bypass[$current_page]) || !in_array($mybb->input['action'], $closed_bypass[$current_page])))
