Is that possible? And is someone willing to do that? I swear to God, it's such a pain in the ass when you mistype the user's profile name you're searching for or the keywords when searching for a definite thread. One minute? Wow, I can actually forget what I was searching for in the first place, having to wait for the search function to be available again, after a whole wasted minute of doing nothing. I don't know with what intentions this was implemented, but it's really annoying to me and everyone else who still uses the good old Search button, and so I ask that you remove it. Thanks in advance.
Complete removal of waiting times when searching?
-
-
i also think it`s kind of unnecessary to wait a minute…let it be 30 seconds and it would have the same effect (whatever the effect was in first place)
-
I use the search button, but I'm not annoyed by the wait times. I have this thing called patience, you see.
-
The wait is put in there so it reduces the chances of people (or non-people) overloading the server with search requests/queries, I think. :x
-
I'm sure. Using the search function requires resources from the server. Allowing someone to spam it would be a really stupid idea for whoever is in charge of the thing.
-
yea it does uses resources and if lot of ppl use search then site will slow down
-
I run into this all the time since I click New posts like every second click, after reading the new post in a thread.
A lot of times I'm forced into using the back button as a way to sort of skip the timer.
I can see why it's necessary even tho it's a little annoying but 30 seconds wouldn't be so bad if that can be done.
-
It can be annoying and unnesscessar, but at the end of the day, that's life.
I'll be happy if it's shortened, or removed, but if not, it's not the end of the world. -

ocean has told me time and again that resources aren't really a problem with this new server. If they were, we would be blocking a lot more people from Japan mooching off of our links to RAWs.
The wait time is a relic of when the board DID have load problems, but in today's climate it might need to be looked at again.
It doesn't really bother me.
-
You could google search a thread, just stating you want results ONLY from apforums.net. That's what I do to avoid wait times.

See? I knew this couldn't have overloaded the server, people have better things to do with their lives than flood forums with search queries and I can't remember the last time I saw a spambot on this forum. And yes, yes, it doesn't bother you and Captain Hypersock, but let's make in a way that doesn't bother anyone, huh?
-
I'd like to see the wait times reduced, 1 minute is a long time to wait if you need to refine a search because you got too many results. :)

Totally in favor of the of the waiting times.
-
Some people just don't have patience.
-
Seniors have no waiting time, was that a joke or a fact??
-
The only real "advantage" the senior members have is acknowledgement by clueless louts who want to be senior members themselves and think that sucking the something of a someone will get them somewhere. So it's totally not worth it. Well, that's what I was informed, at least.
And so, if it's not possible to remove, then can we at least reduce the waiting times (as already suggested by a few members)? Cinder? Anyone?
