You start to piss me off with your topics titles, complain, trolls or whatever...

1. For technical complaint, first address me the problem, then I can see what can be done...
2. Looks like you are the only one to experience this problem, so I would say to problem with most probably on your side?
3. This is a free €€€ board (for you, not for me), managed by me on my free time...so if the problem cannot be fixed, you'll have to live with!
4. Want help me, wand to help this community, want to fix this problem? Feel free to figure what could be your problem on the official SMF Board support right here : www.simplemachines.org/...

How do you fix this? just wait a little more before re-post? Or just log off/log on?
More details would be appreciate to figure out what could be the problem?  ::)

yeah that was exactly my goal,to catch your attention.

how do you think I feel after typing a reply with links etc and EVERY and I mean EVERY time, I get an error message. Sometimes I just quote a random reply, type in my own message, and backspace the quoted reply, to just make a reply possible. It's annoying

Hey guys please have a cool beer and relax a bit...

While I too find it annoying to see that message because I am often a quick poster (PMs/board messages) you guys should also understand that these kind of forums are under continuous "attacks" by spambots (sometimes successfully).

I personally am pretty sure that whenever I get that message it is actually true that I posted within 40 seconds. However, I don't think that is the worst about it, the worst is that you cannot simply "wait it out" (another 40 seconds) and then press the submit button again because it won't work.

What I learned to do to "save the situation" is to copy all text in the message I wanted to write (cmd-a, cmd-c, replace cmd for control if you use windows), go back, wait 1 minute or so and create a new posting, then cmd-v (control-v).

It's annoying but Bruno is not out here to deliberately annoy us, quite the opposite I'm sure.

(What really is annoying is KLOV forums shut-down every 24 hrs. somewhere in the morning (well here in Europe) and simply deleting your entire posting if you were writing one without a chance of recovery).

Bringing back the nr. of seconds won't help much I'm sure because I often type a (short) reply within 20 seconds....

I'm not sure if the timing of 40 seconds is so exact....there's all kind of stuff between our computers and the one serving this forum.

let me be more specific: it doesn't happen all the time, lets say 1 out of 10/15 posts...
No big deal to me, but i can imagine that it gets a bit irritating when you got the error message all the time.  ;)

Hi everyone  :D

It has happened to me before too, no big deal....  I just refreshed browser and everything was fine.


It scared me at first, because I thought I got hacked, and someone was going to mess with my DLF account.


All's good   ;D
