Post timeframe

[screwballl]

I am having a problem replying or posting anything... everytime I hit Submit, it says I last posted less then 120 seconds ago and need to wait... yet I look at my last post and it shows 1:29, yet right now it is 1:35....
so it seems everytime I try to do this and I get that message, the entire 160 second time is reset and starts over with a fresh 120 seconds, rather than going back and only having to wait another 10-20 seconds... I am a fast typer so it is not uncommon for me to have multiple replies for threads within a minute or two of each other...

Sorry, that is an anti-spam measure. Stop and smell the roses between posts.

I understand it is an anti-spam measure as I am a computer tech myself... but it is not the timeframe itself, it is the fact that it resets each time...
Example: if you post at 1:00:00, then try to send another post at 1:01:58, the 120 second timeframe will start over so you cannot post until 1:03:58, instead of 1:02:01.

Most forums I deal with would allow posting at 1:02:01 as stated...

Other forms may only have it set to 60 seconds where ours is 120. I will make it 90 seconds.

That sounds better Steve. I've been bit by this more than once myself. Thanks!

Thanks Steve, that will help a lot.
