New Error Message?

Post by Tarheel Tail-Gator »

While I'm not a newbie, I'm still a rookie at the posting game compared to some on the site.

I posted in the general discussion area, then went in to wish Amy Lee a Happy B-Day and got the following message:

"You cannot make another post so soon after your last; please try again in a short while."

Not upset by any means, just never seen this before. Is the server getting too crowded headed into a concert?

Just curious. and I've just gotta wish Amy Lee a Happy Birthday.

I get those when the boards starts 'double posting'....I guess it's a timing thing to prevent that from happening. Chances are your post was posted anyway. (At least mine have been.)
Well I’m a tidal pool explorer
From the days of my misspent youth
I believe that down on the beach
Where the seagulls preach
Is where the Chinese buried the truth...

I got that Tuesday night. I think I double-clicked "submit" before I got the error msg.
you can't lay on the beach and drink rum all day if you don't start in the morning 8)

It's a setting in the forum program that prevents things like spaming .... and the multiple posts that sometimes happen.

Bingo. One might not know they hit submit twice, that's when you get the message.
