 * great plugin, one suggestion, how about using wp-content/uploads/tmp instead 
   of the tmp folder in the plugin folder?
 * you’ll have a much greater chance of this working out of the box.

 * You can change it. For example Contact Form 7 uses _wp-contents/uploads/wpcf7\
   _captcha/_ by default.

 * had a quick browse through code and looked at the readme. where can I change 
   this setting?
 * strangely, this started happening when updating versions. it failed, and the 
   plugin was deleted. after re-installing, the tmp folder lost it’s permissions(
   assuming that’s where it previously used, can’t remember).

 * So what plugin are you using? Really Simple CAPTCHA is a framework, it doesn’t
   work alone. If you use Contact Form 7 with it, it uses `wp-contents/uploads/wpcf7_captcha/`
   by default, as I wrote, so you don’t need to change the setting.

 * I’m using it in a private plugin. I had look at the source again and I notice
   the ReallySimpleCaptcha::tmp_dir property. I suppose if I modify that after instantiation
   that’ll work?

 * OK. Yes, that’s right. Check how Contact Form 7 initializes `ReallySimpleCaptcha`
   object in it and assigns `tmp_dir` property.
