'You must wait 60 seconds between messages'

[underground]

Hi Folks,

Just a little error report I've encountered. I'm trying to email a member through their profile, which i have accessed through their 'name' hyperlink at the head of a PM.
I am able to populate the subject and body of the email template OK, but upon clicking send I just receive the message i mentioned in the title.

In spite of not having previously sent a email or PM before doing this.

Can anyone suggest a workaround please? I need to contact a member who by the looks of their profile, has not been active on the site since June - hence the email.

Thanks!!!

Not being facetious, but does it work after 60s?

I just double checked, as I hadn't done so before (being too miffed to try again) and it does not work after 60 seconds!

Ah well. Worth a try. I think the "you must wait 60s" is flood control - to stop an individual (spammer) sending loads of messages in quick succession - there's obviously something wrong with it. Can you send a PM instead?

That's definitely what it is - but in this case I'm not one of those!!!!

PM is no good - I would normally but the dude in question has been absent for a month.

HOLD YOUR FIRE!!!!!!

i've just tried emailing myself and get the same message, but the email has been sent (and received) !!!!


err, how many times have you emailed him????

I get an email notification if I receive a PM. I think that's set to on by default but your recipient may have it turned off.
