"Mistake! There was an attempt of an..."

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Okay, I got the weirdest shit I've ever seen from phpBB.
Mistake! There was an attempt of an automatic insert of the message in a forum. Your message is sent to hell. Try still times who knows - can it will turn out? Still probably, that you too long wrote the message - then pass to page back, copy the text, update page, insert the copied text and press button "Send".
This might be from a mod I installed, but WHAT THE FUCK that's creepy broken English.

Please let me know if any of you guys see that text. I want to know how often this occurs. Thanks!

I got it for the first time a few days ago, when I didn't submit my post fast enough.

So I pass to page back, copy the text, update page, insert the copied text and press button "Send", and everything was fine.
When you need my help because I'm ruining everything, don't look at me.

Yeah, I gotta get rid of that stupid message. Jesus Christ. Why is it checking if a message took too LONG?! It should check if it took too short a time, because spammers just send off these stupid mails from their systems, never actually logging in.

I have a complaint about that, by the way.

If I post a message, and immediately notice a typo, or that I've put Mr. Do at #23 on a top-100-games list, and go back to edit it, it will say "you cannot post again so soon", even though I'm not posting a new message, I'm just fixing the message I just posted.

Fix that.

I wonder where messages really go when they get sent to hell.

I think I quoted this in a post the first time I got it. In that entire DLP vs THROWING AWAY ALL YOUR POSESSIONS AND SAVING HURT BUNNY RABBITS ON THE FREEWAY, thread.
Good point Bobby!

To get rid of this message, go to language --> lang_english --> lang_main.php and search for "Mistake! There was an attempt of an automatic insert of the message in a forum. Your message is sent to hell." (without the quotes). and change the message to whatever you want. This message appears when you try and submit a new post straight after/shortly after your previous post. You need to wait about 30secs before posting again....

Thanks -- I seem to see it when I leave the post window open for too long while cobbling together my reply, but that may be due to a separate mod that I installed interacting badly with that one.

I had no idea that phpBB 3.0 was out and about, but it looks like I should be planning to move to that codeset anyway. I just don't want to lose the theme here, heh.
