Is there any way to change the waiting time in between messages down from one minute to thirty or twenty seconds? Cos I'm here only for a few hours a day, and I have to wait in between posts to post. or something like that :heh:. So is it possible? Please let me know. Thanks.

If you didn't post every 1.2 seconds, it wouldn't be a problem.

BTW Ryos, just noticed that maybe this would be better off in the suggestions forum. Can you move it there please?

One important thing about the 60 second delay is that, in theory, it forces people to READ posts BEFORE responding to them.

how much time can you cut from 60 seconds? :wink: one? :p

Simple mathematics.
If that time limit was already cut down from 60 to 30 seconds Gk post count would have been doubled and crossed 4000 mark.

In short Prafull's Law of Gk's post count---

"Gk's post count is inversely proportional to waiting time and directly proportional to his online time".

I hope the waiting time can be cut down to 30 mins or so. I always waste about 1 hour or more just to post few screenshots ..... :(

I agree with Gk1986. When I want to upload screen shots and I take lot of them. I only get to post few cause Im only here 2 hours a day 2. Or sometimes maybe more when Im not doing my homework.

Well I don't really have a problem with it. Being stuck on a 56K connection it takes more than a minute for the old submit reload check reply cycle.

Then again I suppose it does give us 56k'ers a fighting chance dunnit?;)

Nope I've got to connect though a proxy server that loves filtering out stuff. Hell even hotmail's banned! If I disappear one day without trace it means that this site has been filtered too.
