OT: The forum's multiple post timer - gotcha lately?
The forum has a feature that prevents posting too frequently. I imagine it was designed to keep automated spam servers from posting messages here, and we don't seem to get too many of them, so it seems to work well.
Most users are blissfully ignorant of this feature, but I find it annoying on those occasion when 2 topics come up in my reading sequence, and I have a little something to contribute to each.
When caught by this time, you're presented with a "gotcha" page informing you of this policy. Also on the gotcha page is a link for returning you to the forum. But if you click that link, you'll be logged out of the forum, your session data deleted, and you'll have to login to the forum once again.
I've found that the best way to deal with this page is to close it -- don't click the link.
If your browser supports tabs (multiple windows), it's a simple thing to close that tab, and continue working on another page. This way, you don't lose your cookie and won't have to login again.
