I discovered that I had forgotten to mark a solved post "[Solved]", and people were still replying with possible solutions. So I thanked the repliers, but when I tried to update the title of the post with "[Solved]" I got a message saying that I couldn't post again in the same thread so soon after posting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Post in a thread. 2. Try to edit a previous post in the same thread right away. Actual Results: My edit was rejected and I got a message saying I had to wait a little while. Expected Results: It makes sense to prevent multiple posts, but not edits. The software should allow multiple edits even right after a post is submitted.
This is not a bug. Due to efficiency and security reasons (avoid spammers to post a lot), you cannot post more than once every 30 seconds. Editing a post in phpBB is considered the same as posting, as you likewise click on the submit button.
Reopening pending further discussion on the feasibility to implement this or tuning the flood protection time limit. kallamej
Having had a look at the code it's pretty easy to disable the flood control for edits. I think this would be the best solution whilst keeping the 30 second wait for new posts. Once this has been tested I'll add it in.
The flood control has now been disabled if you you're editing a post.
