I keep getting the following error message:

    *  At least 120econds have to pass between sends. Please wait a little while and try send the message again.

Even when I haven't made a post or sent a message since logging on...whappen?

Julien

I'll have a look to that ;)

hello, i have the same problem.
I have to log out, close the net session and relog in between messages, then it works.

Yes, it keeps happening to me too.  I even tried logging out, quitting my browser, and then restarting the program, but it didn't work.

I did, however, finally get the message to post when I tried Firefox instead of Safari.  When I was in Safari, nothing I did could make the message post--but switching to Firefox got the thing out on the first try.  Just wanted to post that info in case it should turn out to be relevant or helpful to someone.

So it only happens with safari ? hmmm weird :/

I thought about all this ... and I had an idea.

For anti-spam reasons, we will NOT remove the 120 seconds interval for new users.

But when a member will have posted more than 20 messages on the forum (and is clearly known by the Expat.com team), we will decrease this limit to 30 seconds.

Please let me know what you think

All right, this is now active. The 120 seconds decreases to 30 sec if you post more than 20 messages on the forum.

If you've already posted more than 20 messages, you'll have to post one more to get the system activated.

Julien

Bug found & fixed !

paliums

Looks like I have to wait 180 sec between messages!

Julien

Yes, this is part of our anti spam system ;) (but the more you participate on the forum, the shortest will be the waiting period ;))
