I can't send a message one after the other; must wait 120 seconds..why??  I get this even when I try to send my one and only message for the whole day!

Hi there,

we used this security for anti-spam purposes, but it looks a bit "buggy" (several members reported the problem). I'll have a look to this very soon.

Thanks for your message,

Julien

Hello:

Thank you for your attention. 

I feel 30 seconds even not good enough, and 20 posts also will not stop the spammers; they will get around it.

Because I like this site, - organized and laid out much better than any other expat sites. and you show respect to our needs, I must point out a few more things hope you will consider improving:

- I don't like if anyone adds me as a contact without asking me,

- I would like to know the age-category of the members; I can't relate an 18 years old even he/she is an expat.

- I am not sure if members read my messages so I shouldn't concern if I they received them or not.

I know, am asking too much, but with appreciation of your time and efforts for providing this such a helpful site for me...Thank you.

Kind regards,

You aren't asking too much, I will consider all this with a lot of attention (yes the contact system needs to be reviewed).

One question, would you decrease the 30 sec limit?

Thank you very much for your post, I really appreciate :)

Hello Julien:

Thank you for your kind replies.

I don't mind waiting for 30 seconds, but when I wait 120 seconds it keeps asking me for another 120 seconds, and another 120 seconds...I can't just wait, have to go to some other sites to spend the 120 seconds, and then something else comes up and takes me away from my computer; it is a destruction and it might casue me to loose the message I have prepared by the time I get back to it.  If this is how the 30 seconds going to work...?

I use IE 8 and can not change it; my computer is not firends with FireFox or others...

Kind regards,

Yla

It took me ages to identify the bug, but it should be sorted out now.

Sorry guys for the delay
