I had that problem yesterday. I just refreshed. Didn't wait at least 31 seconds, just refreshed right away. Worked every time. :)

Re: Who Reset the Settings on iboats servers

It's May. Have you noticed that everyone's boat all of a sudden dies when accelerating? They are just getting out after not properly preparing their boats for winter storage and finding out they have bad gas, fouled carbs, and spider eggs on their coils. They just want instant answers and quick fixes. But I guess that's why I came here a long time ago too.

Same here. I just wonder what's working that the admins are trying to fix. I haven't seen any flooding that needs attention.

Re: Who Reset the Settings on iboats servers

I've seen it too lately. If I hit 'back' my post is still there though. And if I hit 'refresh' it worked, without waiting 31 seconds. I know the feeling of losing a big post before you get to submit it though.<br /><br />BONDO DON'T GO!<br /><br /> :D

It just happened to me on this post so so this is even more timely...I am a hunt and peck specialist. So if I lose a post it kills me. I started doing my post in MS Word, then just cut and paste. An added plus spell and grammar check.

Before you post your reply, highlight it and press control C This copies it to the clipboard. If you need to post it again, hit control V. This pastes from the clipboard.

It's not the time limit that's the problem, it's the fact that it's going off when the time limit has already passed. I'm getting it too...

Must just be me then, cause the only time I will get it is if I try to post within the time limit, not after.
