Another board upgrade

[fj1200]

Someone is upset that they have to wait 30 seconds between hit-and-run posts. Seems like something like that would be a spam guard.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first time anyone has reported such an issue. Then again, I'm not 100% clear on what is happening. Can you take a screenshot for me next time? Thanks!

This is exactly what appears as your post, when I hit 'reply w/quote'.

What's even stranger, is that when I copied it to paste just now, it pastes correctly. I added the errors so you can see what I see in almost every quoted post.

See if you see it when you quote someone. I'm using Windows 7, w/IE9

When I quote a post, it simply copies/pastes that post to a new post and adds the quote tags around it. I've not had any issues or anyone reporting issues. I don't see any errors in this post of yours?

Can you do the "reply with quote" -and then take a screenshot at that point so I can see what's happening?

The short delay between posts is just that, to be a pain in the ass for spammers who want to get out as many posts as possible in a short amount of time. I'd lower it if I thought it was a problem, but I don't recall a single person complaining prior to this.

I don't think FJ was complaining either.

Oh, I know he was referring to the new member... I was just replying so that others reading would understand why there is a slight delay to begin with. And I noticed the new member blamed it on the vB software, but all of the bulletin board software out there has this option built in, which is adjustable.

I was on a board with an antiquated version of Vbulletin. There wasn't a multiquote button, and we had the delay. Not only that, if you did any type of search....clicking on a member's name, to find an old post in their archives....you had to wait 30 seconds before you could search their archives.
You'd get a message that said you had to wait 30 seconds between searches.

I thought it was due to the version. We complained for years, and they claimed they couldn't do anything about the delay.

When you have 5 discussions going in fast moving threads, it's pretty common to respond rapidly. I don't care about the delay. Nor was I complaining. I always thought the delay on the other board was a software issue.

At least, that's what they told us.

I was referring to a different new member who complained about the delay in another thread.

I can see what you're describing being a pain in the ass. I don't recall that being an issue in the older versions here, but I might have also had the delay shorter. As far as I know, its always been adjustable.

One thing you'll learn here, is that if a gripe is legit, we will fix it one way or another. Sometimes it takes longer, but if its something the community doesn't like, we will make changes.

Again....because there isn't a 'site issues' area, I just jumped in here with the quote issue. I don't think I can start a thread in this forum. It's kinda freeky how it corrects itself before I post. In fact, when I was messing with a post before, as soon as my cursor hit the text I had quoted, the double words disappeared.

And I believe I am the 'other poster' from the delay issue. FJ chose to make an idiot of himself both here, and there, because we disagreed about some issue in a thread.


Don't get me wrong....I wouldn't call either a 'gripe'. I was just surprised that there was a delay. I previously thought it was due to the older Vbulletin version.


Most of the time, it takes me longer than 30 seconds to respond.

Let's try to keep the Announcement and Introductions forums clear of 'personal issues".

If not in this thread, shoot me a PM with the requested screenshot. I'm still honestly unsure what you're trying to explain, but would be happy to look into your issue once I understand it further. Additionally, we have a technology/computers section towards the bottom half of the board. feel free to open any issues there if need be and we'll fix your issue.

Actually, before just now, I didn't know who staff was here.

I guess red lettering means staff.


I'll study up on screenshots, and if I get a minute, I'll send you one.

It seems to be a non issue, cuz it clears itself. I just found it interesting.

That's not helping.

No problem....I'm done.
