 	 				How long can a forum post be? was created by TMD			
  			 				Hi there,
 
Just wondering what the limit is on the length of a post? I tried posting quite a long one and couldn't get it posted. Every time I tried I got a flood warning error.
 
Cheers.

  			 				Hi TMD,
 
I've seen some pretty long ones before posted on here, but sometimes the complex ones can take longer to answer, because different moderators, have different levels of knowledge.
 
I personally, have never heard of a flood warning error before, in relation to computers.

  			 				I just got it again when I tried to reply to you (only a short reply so nothing to do with length).
 
The message reads:

Flood protection! Please wait 60 seconds before submitting on another message...

  			 				I have had the flood protection warning on several occasions simply when having replied to several posts in quick succession. Sorry no experience when simply posting one longer answer or initial post.
Hope you can overcome it,
Denby

  			 				Hello,
 
I've had this message before and wondered if it was because someone else was trying to post at exactly the same time?
 
Who knows? The tech people, I guess!
 
Best wishes,
 
Wendy
