Have I broken it??

half the time when I click on view posts since last visit, or when I click on 'Pregnancy, Trying to Conceive, and New Parents Chat Forum Index
' to go to the main page, it come up with "You cannot make a post so soon after your last one" or something like that. It does it all teh time, just not when I'm trying to post straight away again!

Any idea's Miss B??

Sorry Sami, I hadn't seen this when you first posted about it.

When you click the 'view posts since last visit' link, it performs a search based on what's been posted since your last visit, and displays the results. It looks like every time you are going back to that results page, it is performing a new search to include the very latest results, which is strange - for me, it just displays the same results as last time, ie it doesn't do a new search and it just shows me the same results as when I first clicked on 'view posts since last visit'.

You're not clicking on the 'refresh screen' button in your browser at any time, are you? This would perform a new search, and would activate a delay warning if it was too soon after a previous search.

Whilst I'm not sure why this is happening for you, one way you could get round this is to hold down the 'shift' key when you click to open a thread - this will open the thread in a new browser window, which will allow your page of results to remain untouched in the window behind. When you've finished reading the thread, close that browser window down with the 'X' and your original results page will be displayed for you to select a new thread from (again using the 'shift' key if you want to).

Meanwhile, just to let you know, the search delay is set to something like 20 or 30 seconds - this is in place to reduce load on the database at any one time.

Is anybody else having this problem?

 

No I'm not refreshing, stupid technology

Do you mean that when you're anywhere on the forum, and you click on the 'Pregnancy, Trying to Conceive, and New Parents Chat Forum Index' link - it is bringing up the message? So even without clicking the 'view posts since last visit', it's still doing it just on the standard link back to the forum index?

 

Yeah sometimes, but also when i click the posts since last visit or another topic.

I don't get how that's happening, when all you're clicking is a link back to the main forum index! It shouldn't even be thinking about doing a search

Well as I say, if it does it when you click the 'view posts since last visit' link then try using the 'shift' key as mentioned above, which will get you round the problem, although I must say I am totally at a loss as to why this is happening for you!

If anybody else reads this and is getting the same problem, can you please report below? Thanks.
