if you reply to a post or create a new topic within the specified flood control time (60 seconds), you get a message about the flood control and a "click here to correct the problem" link. The link takes you pack to the message you were typing but you are unable to re-submit the post because the submit button is disabled.< |

Have you tried holding down Ctrl when you refresh? A simple F5 doesn't always do the trick, but Ctrl-F5 is supposed to clear cache while refreshing.< |

reviving an old topic here... but for the interest of the community, in FF3b5 pressing refresh no longer even enables the submit button.

i have tested the mozilla code:
If you put onpageshow="if (event.persisted) onPageShow(); in the <body> tag and put this function in the page header:
function onPageShow() {
document.form1.ButtonNameHere.disabled = false;
}
The button is (re)enabled when you press the back button in FF. However the form you previously completed is lost. I guess it is better to start again with a blank form than not to be able to press "submit" at all.
When using FF you lose both ways!

I tested this issue in Opera and it works the same as all other browsers, it is only FF that has the Javasccript caching problem< |

This could be a solution, although i don't fully understand what it is on about:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_Firefox_1.5_caching
if the following function is included it will fire even if the page is called from cache?:
function onPageShow()< |

unlikely since it would appear to be a problem peculiar to FF, it works fine in ALL other browsers< |

Maybe a no-store meta tag would help but then you'd probably lose whatever is was you typed.
I'd say this is a problem with Firefox rather than Snitz. Maybe you could put a "click here to go back, don't press the browser back button" kind of message, chumbawumba?< |

*bump*
Has anybody been clever enough to solve this?< |

the fix for FF posted on experts exchange doesn't work. when you browse back to the previous page the submit button is still disabled. it must pull the page entirely from cache and not fire the "body onload" event. I have not tried this on snitz but a different webapp of mine. perhaps an admin with a speciality in browser compatability and JS can investigate this further.< |

Hmmm. Interesting discussion. I wonder if thats an "issue" with FF, or if its an "undocumented behavior" of IE. Or maybe nothing works the way its supposed to... 
I'll look at it again when I get home tonight.< |

after a bit of googling it looks like others have had the issue too...

Most of the people here are probably the Admin. on their respective forums and therefore never see the flood control page. And, more likely than not (but not always), the people getting the flood control message don't want attention drawn to why they are getting the flood control messages - even if its a legitimate reason.
The small number of times I've gotten them here is when I've run into a handful of threads in a row that I can read and respond to quickly. (Sadly, that doesn't happen too often.)< |
