I usually opent two or three threads at a time (using tabs in mozilla) so I end up sometime on the page that says "no more than one post/60s" (or whatever). It's ok becoz I can press back, and still have not lost my post (whch would get me mad), but i end up having to wait wayyy over 60s.. is that becoz I'm over the transatlantic connexion? I wonder.. (assuming the server is physicaly somwhere in us) anyway, sometime 60s is realllly loooong !!
I've never noticed a problem with in in IE. It's interesting to me. I have Mozilla loaded up on one of my test boxes at work, I'll check it out on Monday and see if I have a problem with it while tabbing.
I may have miss explained myself. because I browse several threads at the same time (be it through tabs or different windows a la IE) I end up sometime effectively postin twice in the same 60s window. wha I then do is I hit back wait a little, then hit post, and most of the time I have to do that over and over for more then 60s. but since it's the server that redirects me to the "not just yet" page, I assume it's server side. Since the server is runnin on redhat, I assume it's not serverside but rather something with timestams on packets.. which is weird since I have quite stable ping stats.. .. anyway, maybe it's due to this amusing fact: the elasticity of time exponentialy increases when going high. (ooooo that's deep !) (ps I'm runnin mozilla 1.5a / w2kSP3 blasterpatched) (pps: i think I remember I wanted to put that in the box, but maye it woz meant to be here..)
You didn't miss explain yourself. I only browse with one window in IE, not multiple. I get stoned and too mixed up. I've just started using tab browsing in mozilla at work because I find it less of a hassle than having to open multiple windows all the time. Logic says that since you have stable pings, it shouldn't be a packet issue.
I think t he vbulletin software is not designed to browse wso many threads at once, I don;t know realy, the server is located in the netherlands with a 3mbit connection burstabel to 100Mb/s. your being in france the server should be superfast for you! peace SJ
