Ah -- that's right. For some reason the location for that setting seems counter-intuitive to me; i don't know why, because it makes sense when I think about it, just not when I'm looking for it.

Thanks to both of you -- I initially deleted the code, but I think I'll put it back in case i need it later.

There is no need to touch any line of code. Go to Administration » Users » Groups, then click "Edit this group" link near the group in question (probably, "Members"). You can disable flood protection there.

Delete the 2 lines after '//Flood protection'.

Thanks. Maybe you can be a little more specific on what I'm supposed to do with that, since I'm not a programmer.

I have a forum that I only use to keep in touch with a handful of old friends, and we don't get spam -- I'd like to turn off flood control so people can post more quickly. I was able to do this with an older version of punbb but I can't figure out how to do it with 1.3. Can anyone tell me how or direct me to another thread where this has been answered already? Thanks.
