Cannot post until another user posts

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Cannot post until another user posts

Post by book_reader »

I saw a thread of interest and posted a reply. A person had recommended a book on the same thread. I wanted to ask him about that book, but didn't want to ask in the same post, so I tried posting another reply but got an error message saying "You cannot post in this topic until another user posts after you. Please edit your message instead."

I tried editing my first post, but got the same error message again.

1. There definitely is a bug. It should let me edit my first post.

2. I find this constraint unreasonable. I can have valid reasons for posting back-to-back. The above situation was one such reason.

Can we do away with this rule? Or atleast fix the bug please.

I agree. I've had the same problem a few times.

I was just about to post a topic concerning this matter, but it seems it is bothering other users as well. I hope someone gets it taken care of soon.

I fixed this bug. Thanks for telling me about it. You can now edit your post if it was the last post in a topic.
