Weird board error message

Post by Drewcifer »

I just got this one from the board, after submitting a post:

You cannot make another post so soon after your last, please try again in a short while.
Too, I went 'back', waited a bit, hit submit again and voila! a double post was created. Computers are silly.

There's been a lot of hiccups lately, threads have vanished and then reappeared, a couple of times I tried to follow my e-mail alert link to a subject only to be told it didn't exist (but it was here when I checked in directly). And lately I had a post in one of the ongoing Israel threads that didn't appear until Darth Wong posted something behind it.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

I think this board does have a time delay between consecutive posts you can make---just that the actual delay is extremely short compared to other boards'.

There's also the known issue of the first post on a new page isn't always accessible until another post is added. I had the first post on page 4 of 3 the other night. IIRC, there's a mention of this in the announcements forum.

It's called a flood delay. The idea is to keep someone from hitting "submit" 50 times in a row just to clog up the board.

It's because you double clicked the submit button. When you get that warning, it means that you've posted it. Go back to the thread you were replying in and hit refresh, if your post doesn't show, then submit your reply again.

I've had problems but I think the problem has something to do with my computer and not the board.

Ah, makes sense. Seems obvious in hindsight.

I think it's wierder when the most recent post in a forum is deleted, and it says "January 1st 1970" under "latest reply".
