    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.

    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.

    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.
