Well before the db error it was 30 seconds between each post. now its 90 can it be changed back? no big deal just a suggestion

Wait for the DB to be restored, obviously some settings have been changed since 2008.

I think its a pain every other day to get "YOUR PASSWORD HAS EXPIRED" -- Please get things fixed straight away matthew :)

It depends upon your postcount, IIRC. If you have less than 100 it's 90, more than 100 (or 500?) it's 30.

ok thanks citrics. I had over 500 posts before the serv db issue. I dont think the db can be restored so ill just have to build up the post count and delete all my missing bookmarked threads.
