Can't edit soon after posting.
« on: August 31, 2006, 03:56:53 pm »
I encountered a bug in this forum. I posted a message, then switched tabs (Firefox) and edited a different message for spelling. When I hit "Submit" on the edited post, it said I must wait before posting (Since I had posted somewhere a few moments ago). It seems to me that there should be no restriction on when you can edit a post. I can understand not making lots of posts in a short while, but how recently you posted should have no effect on if you can edit something. This bug is not very pressing, but when the web developer has time I would like this bug removed.

EDIT: I suspect (I have not tested it yet though) that you can't sumbit a vote soon after posting also.

My words are mine and mine alone.  I can't speak for anyone else, and there is no one who can speak for me.  If I ever make a post that gives the opinions or positions of other users or groups, then they will be clearly labeled as such.
I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.
I am not a dev.  Nothing I say counts for anything.

This is not a bug or an error. It's a admin (or possibly moderator?) setable feature.

And I noticed it last week or possibly a bit more recent than then. Why has it been changed? I'm pretty sure it never used to do it. While it doesnt make any difference to me waiting to edit a mistake, it does get a bit annoying.

and this time limit lasts like 3 seconds.. its hardly worth complaining about.. I suspect it just keeps spambots from shooting out post after post.
