Flood Control

[A_Traveller]

Hi all,

Appreciate the flood control rationale, but isn't in this day and age of tabbed browsing and {relatively} decent connexions here 60 seconds somewhat excessive, would not, say, 30 seconds be more appropriate?

Just a thought.

Flood control now reduced to 30 seconds. Let's try this, please report if any problems.

Cheers

I don't think it's the 60 seconds that was the issue, but _when_ the check in the code was done.

It was done on pressing 'reply' not when sending the post you had written.

So it didn't matter if you just wanted to start writing a new topic that would take 5 minutes to put together - you had to wait before the flood-control would let you to even begin your writing.

This also made it more of a problem to go in afterwards and pick up quotes if you needed to edit your post, especially if someone had posted just before you and you had to clarify what you where answering too.

I noticed this problem when hitting the "Preview Post" button: if I've just posted one reply and have another tab open with another reply ready to be checked by hitting the "Preview Post" button, it sometimes tells me to wait.

I think the 30 second reduction should eliminate the majority of these occurrences.

Hope the 30 seconds limit is ok for you guys. Please let me know.

It's reduced my pink screen events, so thanks for this.
