What? I’m bitching about the search function again?

Okay, okay, actually I’m just wondering if anyone else has gotten this message when doing a search for “New Posts”. I haven’t seen this happen before about two days ago and it’s happened about three or four times since. I don’t think I’m double clicking by accident. But if it’s just me than I guess it’s just me.

Thanks.

There it is again.

This is odd.

Remember back when search was disabled for a while due to server issues? The 5 minute wait was the compromise solution.

I think bbs2k is saying that he’s getting that message even when he hasn’t done a search in the preceding 5 minutes.

Isn’t “new posts” technically a search? I remember, at the time when searches were suspended, Siam Sam said that he used the “new posts” function all the time and he missed having it.

I’ve seen that message, but only when I accidentally tap the touchpad twice.

Yes, of course, **new posts ** is a search - find the posts since last time I looked.

I hate this message:

This forum requires that you wait 300 seconds before submitting another search. You have 2 seconds to wait before another search will be allowed.

Why bother, just make my request wait.

Because then you’d have to have a scheduler which would add all sorts of complexity.

i think he meant getting 300 seconds out of 300 seconds. you must either be real fast or something.
