I'm sorry to be a nag but is there a reason for this annoying little message I get:


This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between searches. Please try again in 19 seconds.

Sometimes I just click on the wrong link, press back then click on the right one and end up having to wait. I've been using this forum for a while now, and just recently started contributing (if that's what you want to call it) and I just find this to be a nuisance.

this would be a limitation of the V Bulletin software and is seen in other forums as well, so even with the occasional finger slip you will have to wait, just think of it as a Microsoft moment (we blame them for everything don't we)

I use those seconds to curse violently!

That happens to me when I click on "new posts" and then click a thread and read a post quickly and then try "new posts" again too soon. What works for me is instead of clicking on "new posts" again, I just use the Back button on the browser. No waiting that way and no warning.

yes, really annoying. Isn't there a setting which allows members with more than 100 posts (or whatever...) to not wait between searches or posts?

These things are usually to keep out bots and other things that can make places like this a mess.
