Title: BITCOIN FORUM PROBLEMS -- PLEASE HELP
Post by: bene on February 04, 2014, 10:21:01 AM
Why the hell can't I write PMs or use the search?

When I write a PM I get the error "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later."
Of course, the error is BS, as I didn't send any PMs at all.

I'm really frustrated as I need to reach a Bitcoin Forum member urgently, how can I fix this?

By the way this is really user-unfriendly, if I'm blocked from sending PMs then please at least tell me so BEFORE I type my message...!!!

5 minutes - its like you're trying to bulk pm people or bulk post...It goes away after you leave the newbie label.  Just refrain from pressing the enter key, I saw that it tripped up when I pressed enter after typing something in the search window, for that matter, use google to search for stuff in this thread, its much more effective.

Thanks for your input.
Do you know how I can get rid of the Newbie status?

Not exactly. You just need to get more 'activity' and you'll go up in member status. You can read about activity here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0
