No matter how many seconds/minutes I wait.

This forum requires that you wait 5 seconds between searches. Please try again in 5 seconds.

 

I get this too. Just started recently. I usually just click through the timer and it works.

 

Same. I started a new thread called "Refresh issues."

Yes, I confirmed that this just recently started happening to me, and one of the IB admins basically told me I was an idiot.

 

Not quite. You pointed out that there's a setting in the vB options to configure the timeout. We know. Specifically, it's a number value in seconds with the option to be disabled, which is not typical.

So changing the value there will do nothing for the issue because the root issue is that it shouldn't be triggering in the reported cases where a search immediately results in the flood error despite no previous search was performed or none within the 5 second setting. That's the real problem and the team is investigating that.

 

Do you have a way to check with the Corvetteforum Admins and/or support people? They had the same issue and fixed it fairly quickly.

 

I wonder if it is still a client-side caching or VPN issue as was stated - twice - in the original post that was started ~9 days ago ...

 

The issue is not fixed. It's due to the same issue. We believe the browser is prefetching data and causing the search flood timeout to trigger. It's actually one of two issues that we believe are related to that behavior.

 

I disabled "Preload pages for faster browsing and searching" in Edge. It's no longer giving me the 5 seconds BS.

Then again, I opened Chrome (without making any settings changes) and can't get it to bark at them there, either.

 

That's strange. It only did it to me for maybe half a day over there.🤷
