Searching yes, posting no.
Thoughts?
Has happened to me a few times over the past 2 days. It seems that the web server is working hard. Maybe a fragmented hard disk is to blame?
Flood control is when people post more often in a certain amount of time. That has always been enabled 
. What is limited is searching when there is a higher load.

Server load was high today.... just checked. Good call.
I cannot quote, add reply or start new topic. If I want to add something I can do it only thru fast reply.
When I choose another option it says that microsoft has a problem and it close this page completly.
Can anyone help me?

I wonder how much the load situation would be improved if the Off Topic forum wasn't here... or maybe if post credits weren't awarded for flooding the Off Topic forum with dribble.

That and any post that says simply 'congratulations' not being awarded credit either.

...Why not go all they way and include the "dribble" posted in Polls too? Seems the more tacky polls generate alot of traffic too.

That would be heaven! There is so much CRAP posted in OT, simply to get a heart on one;s name....why not do away with the hearts altogether & only have date joined show on user profile? WOuld cut down on a lot of unnecessary traffic.

Agree on the hearts stuff.... I think it's obviously beneficial to any website to have as much traffic as possible; however I was responding to those on this thread commenting about the flood control kicking in due to large volumes of traffic.
I just checked and flood control is five seconds. If this is not working as planned let me know...
Every time I hear that someone has received their NOA1, Touched, NOA2, NVC completed I feel their excitement and joy. Just as i feel their pain when the are put on AP or are requested something at the interview they don't have, or are left behind in their date forum, because everyone has moved on to the next step. Congratulations are important.
