While im on the forums, i have noticed that the message 'you must wait 30 seconds before posting again' has come up more then i thought it should, so i timed how long it stayed up for, refreshing the page every 30 seconds, and it stayed there for about 4-and-a-half minutes. Is this just me or is everyone experiencing this problem?
Four and a half minutes you say? Sounds like something that happened awhile back. Crud, it came back... Just to let you know though; the ending of that story is that it went away after awhile, so this one should as well. Have no fear!
Some people back then said if you clear your cookies and cache, the timer would go away, so I would try that to see if it does anything.
You shouldn't need to make another post within that 30 seconds. Seriously. Spam much. If you get to a thread within 30 seconds, type your reply, copy it, refresh the page and paste and submit. Also helps prevent being ninja'd.
