Description: Once the modules have been installed I reach the 'configure site' page. I fill all the attributes and click on 'Save and Continue' and I receive an error message:
--------
Your hashcash string is not valid.
Please try "Hard-refreshing" this page (Most users should press Ctrl-F5)
--------
I tried the suggested solution but it didn't work. Also tried Ctrl+refresh button. I also restarted the browser. None of these worked. The installation comes back to the same point, and does not continue.]]>

I cannot reproduce the error by installing it on fresh XAMPP 1.8.2 [PHP 5.4.19]. See attached image.
Since hashcash is relevant to emailing, did you install XAMPP with 'FakeSendmail" configured?

Comment: With the upgrade to Scratchpads 2.1.10, this issue is resolved by placing hashcash with different spam-proofing mechanism like honeypot and captcha.
