- Which board or sub-board are you trying to post on when it happens?
- all of them.
- What browser and version are you using?
- IE11
- Which forum version are you using, the old green or the blue?
- Mine is green?
Thank you!

Same happening for me.
It was happening over the weekend if you clicked the find posts for member (on a members public profile)
Now the New Posts button is doing the same.
First time I pressed it it said I had to wait 15 seconds. Tried again about 20seconds and it said the same thing again, wait 15 seconds. Refreshed the page using the browser controls to get it to work.

From my own user cp page, clicking the new posts link across the top.PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)0 -

As someone else said. I go onto the forum and click new posts...it keeps asking me to leave 15 seconds between searches regardless of how long I leave it.
Which board or sub-board are you trying to post on when it happens?
all of them.
What browser and version are you using?
Chrome Version 63.0.3239.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Which forum version are you using, the old green or the blue?
Old green
I'm having different issues on a different forum elsewhere on tinternet (in that case, it's not taking me back to my previous page, it's skipping back twice):heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

It’s also doing it from the search results page (e.g. page 12 of the new posts search) - click new posts and it says wait 15 seconds. Wait 20, click again, says wait 15. Wait 4 seconds and press it again, it says wait 15 - rather than 11PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery.

Barney - It just got up and went.

•How much time are you leaving between posts and are you trying to post the same content or different content?
In some cases it has been over 24 hours between posts but generally I leave about 1 minute, the search function for 'new posts' doesn't work no matter how long I leave it, I always get the 15 second rule displayed.
•Which board or sub-board are you trying to post on when it happens?
All over the forum
•What browser and version are you using?
IE 11
•Which forum version are you using, the old green or the blue?
old (green) version0 -
I'm also getting the duplicate post message for every post except when I use the Quick Reply box.0

Yes. Still the phantom double submission, causing the message this is a duplicate post.
Not every single time, but maybe fluctuating in the 60% to 80% range
I had an interesting different search result. Clicked on my profile, look for all my posts (to help check for other later replies). No results at all. Going via advanced search from the link at the top of the forum still worked, fortunately.0 -
