I had this:
ERROR!
Flood control enabled. You may not post messages until 5 seconds from now.

Apparently you clicked on Send Reply too much, or tried to post two messages in a row with very little time in-between. Basically it's a way to prevent spammers or hackers from automatically making many posts in a very short period of time.

Game on,

It can also happen if you click the "Send Reply" button right after someone else has posted.

Which I'll be getting back to when the Internet here isn't going at dial-up speed. I'm too young to waste time waiting for Blogger to catch up to me.

Can you reproduce this? Looking at the code, it's sure not trying to do it that way... it's only looking at your own last post. That would be weird if it was like this.

I don't know if I can reproduce it myself, but I know I've had a situation where I post a message but get a forum error similar to this, which turns out to coincide with someone else posting in the same thread as I attempted to post. I then have to post my reply again.

I suppose it may not be exactly the same message, but that one rings a bell.
