How many of you are having this problem, and how long has it been going on? Please let me know.

Thanks.

It's happening to me too. It's a short wait, though. Only about a minute. Somebody set a timer somewhere...

Since forever. Some websites that do this have a timer/counter to tell you how long you have to wait but not here. It is especially annoying if the reason for the repeated search is a failure of the search engine to return a useful result.

BTW, I understand the need for this delay but it should be a clearly displayed number. Otherwise, I leave and come back a lot later.

It's been happening to me A LOT lately. Before, I only saw the message when I would click the "active topics" link. Now, I see it frequently after simply clicking the back button on my browser, which didn't generally happen before.

Not to steer things off-topic at all, but I feel compelled to mention that, after some frustrating technical difficulties, I determined that Stereophile Digital is a headache, and I have transferred my subscription to print.

Oh, technology; What a double-edged sword you are.

Ditto. I always get I search too fast even when I don't.

I just wait a few minutes and try again.

Thanks everyone. This is not a problem I've ever experienced, but I realize I use the forum in a different way than most people, and also have options available to me that others don't. When others are having problems, then, I'm often not aware of it. I apologize for this.

I'm looking into correcting this search problem. I appreciate your patience.

Again, with Jon Iverson's help, we've set the search delay to 10 seconds. (It was previously set at 1 minute.) We'll see how this goes. If we get bombarded by spam, as in the past, we'll reset the delay to a longer period.
