posting bug? "you have reached the max ..."
 

"You have reached the maximum number of posts (0) allowed in a 24 minute period for this forum."

I haven't posted anything today. Pressed the quote button in a thread in travel tech.

I just got the same thing. I posted once in the forum (DL) more than two hours ago (IIRC my only post today) and one on June 20.

In fact, when I tried to start a thread here on this, I got a similar message: Maximum number of threads (0) allowed in a 24 minute period."

ADDED: Just now I was able to go back to the DL forum and make my post.

Same here.

:confused:

Same thing happened to me.

I have advised IB of the problem.

David, you should be happy that you are at least still allowed to start a thread to report this "24 episode."

I was hit by this about 40 minutes ago and the system didn't even allow me to post nor start any thread on FT. I had to PM Carol to get attention.

ETA: Now it seems I can add my reply since this post went through.

Thanks Carol.

I thought that's what I was doing when I posted here. :D

I am also able to post, it was only a problem when I used the quote button. Then I came here and did "create new thread", which seemed to work, so maybe they are playing with some settings under the hood of FT?

OK, I've heated up the phone lines. bconver says IB-Dick has dropped everything else to work on this.

Yup, we're on it.

Yes, we can call this episode 7:47AM - 7:48AM (HST). :D

-David

We're still investigating, but it appears that the episode is over, correct?

I can't seem to reproduce it now. Any idea what caused it?

Nah! My PM to Carol was successfully sent on 7:38 (your time), and I ran into this 24 problems 20 minutes prior to that. You know, I am not that fast typing up in English. :p

I thought FT is going to have its own 24 Franchise by minute because our archived ORP Forum was in plain sight when I kept hitting the 24 episodes. :D

Well, I don't know. You guys have to tell us what you'd done with FT during the last hour so our resident FTer experts can look into them and possibly debug, if not report, for you. ;)

I only know that I can reply to threads now.

I threw an old caching server back into the mix to test some things and that may have caused some wonkyness. I'm still looking though.
