cant "view your posts"

Post by josh »

I try to click on page 2 but I get 'Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes.'

Why would clicking on the next page constitute blocking me from the search? Perhaps the user should be allowed more then 1 "search".

You can click on page 2, but you have to wait 20-30 second before doing that

Yeah thats my gripe, would it kill the server to allow 2-3 hits to the search module before initiating this delay

I find this annoying too. I normally check my own posts, and then new ones...but of course I have to wait several seconds in between.

You probably post too much, as I also check my posts first, but there are no second page with active topic :lol:

Same.

I also find this annoying. But, I try to purposely take time between going from my posts to new posts so I don't notice the restriction.

I think the restriction should only apply to people with below a thousand posts.

That way, spammers like me can keep up the good work :D

Yeah but sometimes I need to reference old threads, sometimes I'll answer someones question and then 6 months later I'll run into the same problem and forget the solution lol
