BuddyPress.org

Hi,
It seems like when I enable buddypress on a site the captcha I set up gets bypassed and I get a lot of spam registrations. I am using a specific captcha that keeps track and I don’t seem to see anything there when I enable buddypress and get a lot of spam registrations.
Does buddypress open up a separate registration portal or an alternative registration form some where, and if so, how I put my specific captcha on it or disable that entirely?
I’ve searched here and found others with similar issues but the topics are closed and it doesn’t look like the ones i found were resolved.
thank you!
