Hi,

I've posted three messages today after the first and the last (before this)
I got a message that I'm not allowed to post within 30sec. But between my posts are much more time than 30sec... Is this "by desgin"?
By the way, the messages are all posted successfully...

It's possible that this is just a glitch in the vBulletin forum system we're using. There does exist a setting to limit posts to not more than one per 30 seconds, but if you're getting warnings even though much more times has passed, however, then perhaps this "feature" just doesn't work as advertised.

We're expecting to migrate the vBulletin forums into forums powered by the Drupal CMS platform we use for java.dzone.com and the other "zones." I don't think this issue will continue after that migration.

Cheers,
Rick

It works well in my experience. Might have to do with timezone settings. If it works like I think it might, having an incorrect timezone set in your user profile could cause this (but would also be insecure, rather prone to abuse by spammers who are the reason such measures are introduced in the first place).
