Topic: post interval error

Hey I hope someone knows whats wrong with my forum, whenever a user trie's to post they get this message:

   

The following errors need to be corrected before the message can be posted:

        * At least 0 seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait a little while and try posting again.

The settings are all fine ive checked them time and time again, they are all on 0 seconds. My theory is that while my host was getting DDOS attacked, my forum was damaged.

If you know whats wrong please post here!

Re: post interval error

I think I've seen this before. It's due to the clock on your server being changed to the future after someone has posted.

Re: post interval error

Hey, thanks for the quick reply, how do i go about fixing this then? Do I ask my host to change the clock or do I do it via my acp?

Thanks.

Re: post interval error

You could run this query

update prefixusers set last_post = UNIX_TIMESTAMP() where last_post > UNIX_TIMESTAMP()

replacing prefix with your database prefix. That wil make sure everyone's last post is correct.

If it keeps happening, talk to your host
