    Default Can't search forums

    I seem to have lost the ability to search any of the threads, forums or subforums. I keep getting an error message telling me to wait 150 second, even though my last search was weeks ago. any suggestions how I can fix this?

    Me too. I find if I wait a few minutes without doing anything on the site, it will let me search. I think the board sometimes mistakes normal browsing for searching...

    Ditto, I have the same problem. It somehow thinks I have been making searches even when I haven't. I have found that waiting the 150 seconds then refreshing the search page does sometimes work, but it's annoying nonetheless.

    Problem seems to be fixed today, not sure how. those of you who said you had the same problem I suggest giving it another go.

    I had a similar problem a while ago with a member test-account. For my moderator account, the search worked fine. Not sure what happened to fix it.
