    I posted something in one topic then I when to another topic and posted something..
    Then it said this message:
    Anti-flood protection: the system prevents you from making more than one post every 60 seconds!

    It appears you have posted very recently. Please wait a short amount of time and try submitting again.



    I'm sure I've posted more than one post with-in 60 second before...
    is the Anti flood protection new?

    What's wrong with anti-flood protection? I think it's great.

    Nothing has been changed, flood protection has always been enabled. If it is becoming a problem for some member, I can alter some settings,

    It's bad because you may have to reply to 2 topics or more and 60 seconds wasted.

    Well I think it's a great idea. Though it should be one for each topic.

    So you can't post more than once in one topic in 60 seconds.

    It's not really called flooding if you post more than once in 60 seconds if it's two different topics.

    HeyJD
    I agree, two topics shouldn't have 60 seconds, maybe just 10, but same topic should have it 60, because you can always edit .

    If you're going between topics and making new posts in less than 60 seconds maybe you should slow down, take more time reading what has been said, and write a better response?

    I can process information pretty quickly , and there are times where I am trying to zip through posts to answer alot of questions.
