Is anyone else getting this? Click on "Submit" and you get "Preview" instead? Over and over till it sometimes does eventually submit?

[~Vix~]

Only happened to me once earlier....

[Ollie]

It's happened to me a few times, especially when editing posts.

Sometimes I have to resort to deleting them and resubmitting them just because it won't do anything other than preview.

[Pez]

It may have done this to me on the odd occasion, but ive generally been drunk when it has happened, so it may just have been my numb-ness clicking the wrong button

[JamieFRST]

Hadn't happen to me until just now, when it happened 3 times in a row

[Tweek]

Yeah, I thought it was just me, glad to see it's not

[~Vix~]

aww how cut3 is that kid

It was fine for me until I read this thread earlier

[AdrianFRST]

Ahhh. Should have mentioned this. It's not a fault.

It's an anti-spam thing to prevents robots / programs posting junk. It won't let you submit a new topic or reply unless five seconds have passed since you clicked the "new topic" or "reply" buttons.

The theory is robot will be automated so take milliseconds to run the script to post a message whereas a human takes at least that time to type a reply. That is unless you're just posting a smilie or "lol", but you'd never litter the forum with pointless posts like that, would you?

Hopefully it's not too much of an inconvenience and a small price to pay for a spam free forum. If it becomes a major pain I'll remove it and try something else.

[Summer22]

me thinks you should try something else

[JamieFRST]

Ah that'll be why then

[Smo]

You hardcore speed posters

[heeman10]

Some of us have typing speeds in excess of 5wpm!!

[Ollie]

We have that antispam thing enabled on XRTwo's forum but it displays a helpful message saying that you're posting messages too quickly. I encouter it on a daily basis.

[Max M4X WW]

I thought it was becuase i was just replying with a smiley lol.

The 20seccond thing on IPB by default is sooooo annoying. Do they not realise people have fast internet now

[heeman10]

This is really annoying me now Making use of the forum a total nuisance!

[heeman10]

Took six goes to post that

[Ollie]

It's when you preview a post before submitting. It seems to pick up the preview as though it's a submit and then won't allow a submit for 5 seconds.

However each time you try to submit within that 5 seconds it seems to reset the time.

It gets really annoying if, like me, you preview everything before submitting it.

[heeman10]

Ollie - It doesn't only happen if you Preview, it's happening with 90% of the posts I attempt to submit, and the problem isn't going away. It's driving me mad and I often can't even get to reply to things, let alone update my own threads with pics and details etc!

[Ollie]

Seem's to have stopped now... Has Ade turned it off?

[heeman10]

Still happens for me, about 4 out of 5 times

[~Vix~]

Still happens for me, about 4 out of 5 times

same here

[JamieFRST]

Not had any problems in a week or two

[Ollie]

Maybe I'm just not posting as much... I only really noticed it when I used preview before submit, so I just stopped doing that and I can't be bothered to edit posts for mistakes now either...

[heeman10]

Still happening

[Superal]
