I’ve been on other forums, some of which use the same format as this one, and I have never had to wait three hundred seconds between searches. I think this is a ridiculously long amount of time to perform a search on a website. I know, I know, “three hundred seconds is a long time? Kid, you don’t know what a long time is!” I can practically hear my damn grandpa barking this out in his crude, harsh Brooklyn accent, so you don’t have to even say it. For me, yes, three hundred seconds is a long time to do a search on a message board.
Why does it take such a goddamn ungodly long time?
What cheeses me right off is when the board goes into ‘database error’ meltdown in the middle of a search, so you have to wait five minutes to do the exact same search. Pathetic.
I use the “new posts” button and sometimes I accidentally double click on it making it think I did a second search which then provides me with the 300 seconds error message. And then I can’t back arrow to where the first “new posts” was.
