Topic: flood control has gone haywire!

I don't know what triggered this and how to disable it...whenever anyone posts anything in any forum (no matter what user group you are, even Admin), my forums throw this error message when I post:

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


All of my user grouops are set to 0 (to disable flood control) except for members who are set to 10.

If a member posts, it will give you the same error but say "At least 10 seconds have passed..."

What's going on?  Anyone have any ideas?

Re: flood control has gone haywire!

Just a shot in the dark, but try running the following query in phpMyAdmin or so:

UPDATE prefix_users SET last_post = 1181910840 WHERE group_id != 3

Replace 'prefix_' with your prefix.

Re: flood control has gone haywire!

Okay...I am able to post now.   But now I have another problem: when I post in a topic or post a new topic, the topic doesn't move to the top of the forum like it should, and it doesn't show the latest reply like it should... o_O

EDIT: Nevermind!  Problem solved!  Everything works now, thanks!!!
