    Default Is there any way we can fix this?

    When I'm editing something I just posted, I keep getting this message... "You cannot make another post so soon after your last; please try again in a short while."

    It's really annoying... I can understand how it would be useful to avoid flooding and whatnot, but does it really have to apply to edits also?

    It sucks when I make a typo and then I have to look like an idiot for 2 minutes while I wait to correct it.

    Honey, just click the back arrow, wait a while and try again. It just does that.

    And yes I know what you mean about editing.

    I know, I do that. It just drives me nuts having to wait to fix something like an apostrophe. Maybe I am just too picky.

    I think this is a great idea! I guess I'm picky as well about my posts. Thanks.

    It really pisses me off too. Good idea.

    I like the feature of some forum software (like vBulletin) allowing quick edits without loading the posting page and all. It's been a few years since I've administered a phpBB forum, so I don't know if that capability is available for this software.
