OP, I doubt your suggestions are going to get the attention of Theymos, but I happen to agree with you about the search delay at least. I have no idea why it takes that long to be able to search for something else or correct a mistake made in the search field. That's been an annoyance to me quite a few times, and I don't have a clue why it is the way it is.
Regarding the 360 second restriction on posting: That's only for brand new members if I'm not mistaken, and it goes away very quickly once you hit Newbie status. It might be a bit too long, since there are a lot of people who register on bitcointalk to post a scam accusation or get some quick info, and I can see how it's a huge pain in the ass. The problem is that if there wasn't any type of restriction like that, there would be bots spamming the forum like you wouldn't believe. Even with that 360 second thing, we still get problems from time to time with bot spam.
And yeah, a lot of things could be improved upon here. The new forum software should fix all of that, and I hear it's going to be released any day now.
Hi and thanks for your answer. I do want to apologise to anyone for my lack of punctuation in this post or any “dumb” questions that upset or seemed to Atleast upset some users. Yes I am new here. I need to learn what’s more accepted here than on wider topic forums like social media. Anyway let’s continue.
This 360 character as I was NOT aware was for newbs only makes it not valid in my OP. But thank you for letting me know. With the 90 second search block timer I am still wondering if this has been brought to the mods or any of the developers attention and or is on a list of updates to be made? Or has now need changed to be less time to wait between a Search? Which I can only assume is to slow down users on the website when there is a lot of traffic? If that’s the case, I’m sure there would be a work around to fix this and remove or reduce it to a more appropriate timer of 1-10 seconds but really it shouldn’t be there again unless it serves another purpose.??
I'd make it 3600 seconds for newbies. No one needs more of such illiterate garbage like the OP. If you can't spend a few extra seconds to spell-check and proof-read your shit, Twitter would be a great fit for you.
Ok sorry I didn’t write perfectly. I haven’t used an old style forum for along time and since everything else I use has spell check activated. Here I can’t find it at all. So whatever sorry to upset your day,
