Exactly what is the wait time between searches?

No biggie, but was given this message in reply to a search:

"This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between searches. Please try again in 19 seconds."

17 seconds

Seriously though, we'll take a look at that and see if we can't figure out what the heck is going on there. Thanks for the head's up.

Ok, Joshua is all over this one. The default wait time between searches is 15 seconds, but one of our servers has evidently decided it would prefer to work on a slightly different clock

So what happens is, the initial search is performed on server A, say, at 10:00. The second search happens to be performed on server B. Let's say Server B is running 10 seconds behind Server A ... six seconds have gone by since the initial search, so Server B thinks it is now 9:56. Server B checks the recorded time of the initial search (as recorded by Server A), sees that it was 10:00, adds 15 seconds to that and compares it to its own current time ... and spits out the seemingly ludicrous statement you posted above

Hope that makes sense. Probably more info than you wanted.

Joshua is working on resetting the server times as I type this to get them all working on the same clock again.

Thanks for the info, Mikel. I often get a "Please try again in" message for anywhere from 1-3 seconds when I'm a little too quick on the draw between searches, but this was the first time I got 19. So for a second there I thought the servers were selectively punishing me for habitually not waiting long enough between searches.
