It couldn't be that hard to program. It probably could be programmed in 30 seconds.

Yeah, I can stop having to set the timer on my watch, and when I don't have it, occasionally getting weird errors.

I also think the 60 second rule should only apply to you if you have ever been caught spamming topics or projects.

There's a first for everything, because someone could be pretty deadly before they get caught the first time.

I support! I think it would ease the anger of Scratchers waiting, if they knew how much time they had left to wait. That's how it's done on Coder's Shed! 
@sci, can you tell me your flood interval code, & how to add it in punBB?

You probably won't be able to do this using PunBB-Hosting. :S

Code:

In /post.php, find...

// Flood protection
    if (!isset($_POST['preview']) && $pun_user['last_post'] != '' && (time() - $pun_user['last_post']) < $pun_user['g_post_flood'])
        $errors[] = $lang_post['Flood start'].' '.$pun_user['g_post_flood'].' '.$lang_post['flood end'];

and replace it with...

// Flood protection
    if (!isset($_POST['preview']) && $pun_user['last_post'] != '' && (time() - $pun_user['last_post']) < $pun_user['g_post_flood'])
        $errors[] = $lang_post['Flood start'].' '.$pun_user['g_post_flood'].' '.sprintf($lang_post['flood end'], $pun_user['g_post_flood']-(time() - $pun_user['last_post']));

In /lang/English/post.php find

'flood end'            =>    'seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait a little while, then try posting again.',

and replace it with...

'flood end'            =>    'seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait %s more seconds, then try posting again.',

That's it!

It doesn't look like it'll work on PunBB 1.4.1. Can you make one for that? I don't know PHP...

That's it!

How do you do that?

By editing the original source.

What original source?

I did that on my forums, so i already have the code. I'll discuss it with the ST.

Yea, I've always thought that this would be cool, and saw it's on your website as well. I support.

I don't even know that rule exists as I never post that much often but if i do, it would be nice to know how long I have to wait.

Support :p

The source of the post.php file. Sometimes not accessible if you're using a hoster, instead of hosting yourself.

Sci? Are you on misc forums anymore? We need you!
