Sorry! The administrator has specified that you can only do one search every 45 seconds.

Dumb.

 

It is an inconvenience, but it's needed to help keep the server load within normal operating ranges. If the server load goes too high, which can happen if too many people hammer the search, the entire forums will suffer with slow response and/or to the point of getting the Server Too Busy error at which point no one can use the forums until the server load returns to a normal state. The server already gets loaded down quite often as it is with this large board and activity.

Most vB forums have that flood check in place, some are set higher and some are set lower. Due to the size of this forum and it's rather large activity, it's higher than default value is needed at the moment until TGO does some upgrades.

That's my view of it, but I'm not a TGO guy. Dirk and Iroc are the admins.

 

how about they disable the search all together

 

That would be really bad. We would get the same questions every day like "what is a 350?"

 

or did any thirdgens come with a 350/5speed? but no one uses the search anyway and we get the same damn questions.

 

We force people to search by lcoking their threads. All of the stickys are helping immensly on the redundent posts.

 

yeah i was just kidding anyway. they xx sec rule sucks but its needed for now at least.

 

Is there going to be anything done with the server to allow the search function time limit to go back down (in terms of minimum seconds between searches) at any point?
