Posting to fast... please wait and try again later

#1 Post by sparta.rising » Thu Dec 11, 2008 4:52 pm

Okay I don't remember the exact error, but basically when you try to post a message too quickly after a previous, you get the error. I can understand the use to fight spam... but is there any way that the edit feature can be exempt from the restriction? Often right after I post and reread my message I decide to make a small change... but I have to wait like 60 seconds to make this small change... and it really kills my enthusiasm... I guess I can have a short attention span.

Nope, it's all or nothing.

I agree with sparta.rising. It can be slightly annoying especially for those of use who still sometimes do grammar mistakes :oops: and accordingly want to edit those before someone else has seen them... :D

A side note: I´m aware of the preview feature, but unfortunately grammar mistakes are not always that apparent...

Oh well, I guess I could learn to check over my post BEFORE I hit the submit button... but it just never seems to be the same.

Well, I can pretty much guarantee that the feature is not going to be disabled... ;-)

Here's how you can install a Spell Checker in Firefox:

I'm sure there are others for other browsers!

I do already have a spellchecker installed in Firefox, but it doesn´t check grammar ;)
