30 seconds between searches rule

Keeps coming up when I access the site on my phone but doesn't happen on my pc. Is there any way to stop it as I find it highly annoying?

Doesn't quite work. On mine I can end up waiting 5 minutes to see new posts. Gets down to just waiting 2 more seconds and will reset. Makes it so I tend to only come to the site once or twice a day max now.

ETA: also, just like right now, was in the thread at least that long and as soon as I leave it wants me to wait the whole 30 seconds again.

What phone, what browser?

Phone or Pc/Mac?

Please verify your time zone settings: http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions.

Next, go here: http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/search.php, scroll down click the "Save Search Preferences" drop down, select "Clear Search Preferences", then click "Go". If that doesn't help, clear your cookies. And if that does not help, have some patience until I'm back in the country. I will debug this. In the meantime I'll lower the limit to 20 secs.

Hi R, I have a Samsung Galaxy S using Android's built in browser. I don't know what it's called as it's just helpfully labelled "internet" :)

Thanks for the links, will give them a go.

Mine is a PC on Firefox with Win7.

Timezone good.

Did the search and cleared cookies & cache (I do regularly but don't remember if last time was before or after this started.)

Thanks for looking into things.

You'll be better off using the Forum Runner App to access the forum rather than the inbuilt browser. There's a free version and the paid for one both work a treat although the paid obviously one has more features

Ok thanks!

Since the change, while the search still can't make up it's mine when the timer originally begins when I get here or between threads and search, it hasn't reset at the last second. I can live with that.

Seems to have worked for me too! Thanks!
