Posting Issue

[vdeane]

Anyone occasionally getting the "your last post from this IP was within the last 15 seconds" error even if you haven't posted in a while?

[hotdogPi]

Yes, I have. I first discovered that that message exists about six months ago, which was accurate (I wanted to post two things at the same time in different threads). However, I've now occasionally been getting it recently at other times.

I've never seen that one.

[Roadgeekteen]

I get it occasionally but rarely. Mostly when welcoming new people to the forum- it takes so little time to type welcome  . Besides that it isn't really an issue.

[Max Rockatansky]

I get that message all the time on my phone.

That's because I'm hiding in your walls.

Ooh, mini road meet time?

I've been getting it too, sometime on the first time I've tried to post for a day.  Waiting more than 15 seconds before trying to post again will just produce the same error message.

Logging out, clearing browser history, then logging back in seems to work for me.

Has there been any specific thing any of you are doing that may be triggering this? I have never heard of anyone having this issue before.

Only ever happens on my phone and if I'm replying to someone by clicking on Quote.

I've had it happen on my computer. Unlike what Revive 755 said, waiting 15 seconds works for me.

I got that message, then when I resubmit I get "You already submitted this post! You might have accidentally double clicked or tried to refresh the page." though my post did not go through.

[roadman65]

Yesterday almost every post said that I already submitted it, to wait again. I figured it was an internal error.

[Hunty2022]

I got it once yesterday, I had two posts on different tabs I wanted to post. I only posted one of them.

[Scott5114]

I haven't gotten this error once.

What browser, version, and OS are you all using?

[Big John]

Microsoft Edge, don't know which version, Windows 11.

[Revive 755]

I've been using a more recent version of Firefox and Windows 10.

[Scott5114]

Version number should be on the about screen (Help > About; on Firefox you need to press Alt to get the menu bar to appear).

[Max Rockatansky]

Only happens to me on iOS.  I noticed it began to happen after the MMM IP range purge. 

[hotdogPi]

Mac OS 13.4.1, Safari 16.5.1.

[LilianaUwU]

Firefox 116.0.2 (64-bit), haven't gotten that message once (though I haven't posted much, to be fair).

[roadman65]

I have on my iPad the blue browser icon with a red dial.

Does it have a name or a version number? Vagueness does not help us troubleshoot this.

[1995hoo]

I've never gotten that error at all. At this moment I'm using Windows 10 and Firefox 116.0.2 (64-bit), though I also regularly access the forum via an iPad running whatever the latest version of the Brave browser is.

He's referring to Apple's Safari browser. Seems to only update with the OS; I can't find a version number on mine.
