I can understand on some forums why you would need 60 sec between posts, but here, we have a select few that post. It is not like we get spammers since this is basically a private forum. Could someone change that in the control panel?

As long as we're talking technical...

I can post at the office but I can never post to this forum at home.  It constantly tells me that it's been less than 60 seconds since my last post.

Phil: I did go and change the time between posts from 60 seconds to 15 seconds.

Greg: I'd be interested to hear if this makes any difference with your problem. You may also want to check and make sure that cookies are allowed from home.? It may be trying to write something to your local system. I assume your work and home systems are in the same timezone or that something else funny with the time isn't going on such that 60 seconds from your last post at work never happens?

FWIW, most of the problems in the past have been because of the login screen on the main RealSkiers web site trying to pass credentials or something to the forum site.? I always use the URL below and just go to the forum directly rather than going through the link on the RealSkeirs page.? Same web browser at work and at home?

Correct on most.? Both machines in same time zone, both running XP with IE7.? I always use the URL you listed rather than going through the RS site.? Shoudn't be a cookie issue either but I'll try it tonight and see if the time adjustment makes a difference.

Glenn:

You were having a problem similar to this at one point.  Is it still a problem, or did you change something to make it go away.

We had that 60 second limit so Gary would have to slow down and think about how he wanted to denigrate and castigate Ron rather than just being disparaging.

Not true, obviously.  I never even knew that there was a 60 second minimum until now.  I had never run into it, guess it takes me longer than most to type a message.

Jim....you said nasty things...you know I never think about what  I say!

Nice job fixing the problem.....and how long does it take for "most to type a message"?
