EPCRSGuru Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Does anyone else besides me run afoul of "flood control"? Perhaps I just type faster than average (since my mother made me take typing lessons so I'd "have something to fall back on") but as I navigate through the forums I routinely get the dreaded red message box, making me sit there and count to 15 before I click again. I understand why flood control is a good thing, just wondering if it bothers other people and if it can be changed to a different amount of time.

I have the same problem when I do searches and want to change my search terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 On the (not frequent) occasions when I get the flood control message, I count to 3, maybe 4, and try again. It's usually enough. If it isn't, I wait the 15. You're right that it's usually for searches. I'll bet that if all these other people weren't using the boards so much, I wouldn't get flooded.

How can you stand to wait that long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
