It's just one of those things where it really doesn't happen too often, unless you're really bored and want to leave a crapload of messages. The only reason they have it is to keep the server somewhat freed up so that the same user doesn't cause it to crash.

I vote take it off, we dont need this, we dont get any flodding here, just boring bullshit (myself included, though there is the occasional good post by you guys :wink: ) its kind of annoying, considering i get occasional server hassels as it is

I'm still getting the phpBB error message under my BEG account, but this CC nick under an old webtv account works fine! What the hell gives? Weird! :shock:

I don't actually mind this post waiting thing now, only problem i have is if i type a long message too quickly and post it, when i get the error i have to go back, which then makes the text disappear :( Tis annoying if i forget to copy it first.

I can make 3 posts before that pops up. I think I can live with that. :) I just go to another forum for awhile, then come back if I have time.

and what is when I see a mistake after I have send the message? I cannot edit it because of "please-try-later"....

You got the point. That really makes you suck if you find a stupid mistake or typo on your post and can´t edit it soon. Just think that someone else reaches to read your dumb post and maybe even comments it and then the case isn´t so easy of course. :?

Hm. you two brought up a good point, I didn't think of that. still, i don't know if it's really worth getting rid of this "try again soon" thing... it really is only a few seconds! if you're just farting around on the internet anyway, not really doing anything, who cares?

I wonder why not remove? It is very nervous. Sometimes I have to try to post 5 times, that can't be real!
