Removed some categories

Hello people,

I have removed 3 categories from the forum which haven't been running very well so far (in the old forum aswell): Needle tins, Reproducers and Books & Leaflets. Messages about these subjects can now be placed in the general topic: "The Collectors Lounge".

Ofcourse, if suddenly many postings about those subjects are placed, we'll probably add those categories again... :wink:

Why do you have to wait so long to post again when all you did was fix a spelling error?

Oops

Hi Record-changer,

This is a "flood interval" which helps protect against spammers. As is often with anti-spam protection, "normal users" sometimes also have some disadvantage from these filters. Apparantly modifying your own message is seen by phpBB as a new post aswell. Unfortunately I don't have a separate option to lower the time you have to wait before you can modify a message.

However, I have lowered the general time you have to wait until you can post again. I hope this helps. :o

If the forum is going to be flooded by spam I'll have to raise the time again ofcourse :( , but I'll wait and see first...

Thanks for your suggestion!

Marcel.
