Forum search

I have tried on a few occasions here at ravenphpscripts to use the forum search but it never allows me to. It simply states "You cannot make another search so soon after your last; please try again in a short while.". Is this a known issue ? This was the first time i tried to use it in months and i get the above error. So i waited 20 minutes and tried again but with the same results.

The search works fine for me.

Will have to flush my cache etc. Is very odd. Ever since i started using a satellite for my ISP some sites refuse my IP etc. Wonder if that has something to do with it ?

It's possible.
Some sites don't yet distinguish between IP4 and IP6 addresses and if an IP address doesn't validate to IP4 then it might assume it's not a *real* person. I have not checked (not sure if/when I'll get the time) but the search function here probably tries to validate your IP as an IP4 address and if it's really an IPv6 address it might treat you and everyone else on the site with an IP6 address as the same entity.

Guardian2003, it seems you are right. I get the same issue here and i have an IPV6 connection. But the Author-search works. On all my own RN istallations it works without a hit.
