Cannot Search

Post by JakeJ »

Very frequently when I click on "View unanswered posts" i get told I can't search and to try again. Usually after 3 to 6 clicks it finally goes through.

It would be greatly appreciated if that could be fixed. If nothing else, perhaps that could be trapped and the request could be resubmitted several times automatically (space out a second or two apart maybe) until it goes through.

Of course it would be better to figure out what's causing it. I really doubt an overload of traffic on a Sunday afternoon is causing it.

Thanks!

You can't use the search function too rapidly. Just wait a short interval before clicking on the shortcut links multiple times.

Right but usually, it tells me I can't use the search function the FIRST time I click on it so I have to click 3-6 times to get it to work at all. Oddly, this never happens when I click on "View Your Posts." Just Unanswered and Active.

Each one of those counts as a search. If you first clicked on "view your posts" or "view new posts" then you have already searched once and need to wait a while to click on another search link.
