Title: 1 Minute Edit Delay
Post by: Matt on July 05, 2003, 09:40:38 PM

I've noticed that there is a 1 minute delay between posts and edits.

While I realize and like the 1 minute delay between posts [it helps slow down spambots], I am wonering why a 1 minute delay for edits is needed.  Often I would like to edit a post just to fix a typo or something, but I don't bother because the delay slows it down.

Yeah, this kind of annoyed me too- I don't encounter it too often now for some reason, but Rick says the board doesn't distinguish between full fledged posts and edits, so there's not much they can do about it, if anything. I definitely know what you mean, though.

Yeah.  I am famous for editing posts in the first 5 seconds after I posted it as well.  It irritates the hell out of me when I have to wait a full minute to add that extra paragraph I decided to write after I hit reply, or fix the glaring spelling error I made in the last second.

But, you just have to learn to live with it.  FuseTalk is cheaper than PHPbb.

Huh? Isn't PHPbb free and open source?.......

Yes, but apparently it consumes more bandwidth.
