Hi!

I can't post anything, it says I have posted one in the last 360 seconds, but I didn't.  Huh

Hi and welcome to the forum! That is strange I can see you have not posted to get that message, I only have one idea and that could be because you are using the tor browser, are you using tor? If not start a thread in the meta section and admin or staff maybe able to help. You was getting that message but managed to post this thread? lol

Tor has nothing to do with this.

The time you have to wait gets reset for certain activites such as:

- log in
- searching
- reporting to a moderator
- sending a PM
- posting

As I said, it was not fact just an 'idea' and that was because he had not posted when he was getting that 360 message, which was my reason for asking him whether he was using that or not. If not then I said post a thread because I would have been all out of 'ideas'.

So your list has some new things to me as it was a long time ago I had to wait the 360. Example if I was again a newbie and had 360 second message and before that 360 seconds someone logged in on tor threw the same IP would that mean it gets reset and I have to wait the full 360 seconds?

If yes this was my point about tor but someone posting from that same address.

Edit: Thanks for clearing that up I believed the 360 message was because of the IP and looks like I was confused with it being the same as the 45seconds you have to wait logging in from the same IP.
