How is it possible to do 175 posts in such a short space of time? When I have had a lot to post at once I have, as I am sure Dunsbyowl does, have it pre-prepared in text / spreadsheet / image files on my hard drive which can then be "cut and pasted" into Sheffield History. A sensible thing to do as it allows many hours of typing / research to be put on the site very quickly. However I have found that when I have just posted something if you immediately try to post something else the site goes to one of its pinky coloured error screens with a message that says FLOOD CONTROL IS IN OPERATION ON THIS BOARD PLEASE WAIT BEFORE MAKING ANY MORE POSTINGS Although the delay is not long, usually only 10 seconds, it is a delay and having to navigate back from that annoying error nag screen is obviously trying to discourage heavy posting rather than encourage it. Well done on this achievement Dunsbyowl, you must have been sat in front of your computer for a very long time that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave It was only because I had a list of Working Mens Clubs which I indeed did cut and past individually (and even included some "blank" posts so we could add some more later hopefully in alphabetical order). So it was no achievement at all - it's quality not quantity I have never come across the error message you cite Dave :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was no achievement at all - it's quality not quantity I have never come across the error message you cite Dave I've not got a lot of pre-prepared stuff to post at the moment so as RichardB says I'm not posting fast enough to get that error screen up. However, next time I get the flood control in operation, - don't post so fast message I'll try and do a screen capture of it and post it here.

Everyone should post fast enough just once to get that error message, me, I was on my way to 220 in one day, Man, that was a buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go boys, I don't post half as much as RichardB or Dunsbyowl, but when I try to post a lot of pre-prepared stuff quickly this is the message that comes back.

RichardB Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Good work, if only everyone could get that busy, or that interested to hit that message - just once ! One posting each, from every active Member, for Easter please. Mine is sad, my Father passed away 9th April 1993; Good Friday, not a very Good Friday it has to be said.

I'd rather have the "ERROR, please don't post so fast" message rather than the "ERROR, push off history swot, don't you know the Wednesday are playing" that we seem to get every Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm sure we get plenty of the available bandwidth, it's just when the Football crowd hits, it hits hard - a brief period of frenzied posting ... presumably ... Annoying when you are sat with data to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
