is too long, i've had this prob since the forums got back up but just now, it realy got to me.

i posted, read 2 topics (with about 3-6 posts in them each), thought up and wrote a reply, and it told me i couldnt post oo fast.

. it must have been about a minute, possibly a minute and a half.

The problem is the way the servers are set-up @ gamespy... for whatever reason the scripts run from a number of different hosts all with an other php installation with a slightly different system time

.... probably that confuses the forums

EDIT* i see what u mean,i posted here then in another topic,had to wait almost 5 minutes b4 posting again.

on the subject of forum weirdness, i just saw recently (recently being about a month ago+today) two posts that got switched in order.. but that's not so bad

that at least is cool glitches.
