Kunena 6.3.8 Released
The Kunena team has announce the arrival of Kunena 6.3.8 [K 6.3.8] in stable which is now available for download as a native Joomla extension for J! 4.4.x/5.0.x/5.1.x/5.2.x. This version addresses most of the issues that were discovered in K 6.2 / K 6.3 and issues discovered during the last development stages of K 6.3
Note: Please go to the Kunena Dashboard after an upgrade so that the Kunena database tables are also updated.
Solved "Identical message was ignored" Error
One of my users complained about about a strange error message:
For explaination: I'm running a small forum related to wristwatches. The forum contains also a small marketplace, where users can offer (or search for) watches. The user mentioned above has posted three different offers some time ago and now he wanted to push those offers. He tried to create an answer to all three posts with identical text (see screenshot), but gets an error message when he tries to do so.
I tried to reproduce the error in a different (non-public) category, but the issue did not occour.
Is this a known error? Or some kind of flood protection?
Thanks for you hints in advance!

He will have sent the three messages quickly and successively.Is this a known error?
Spam bots often post the same messages within a short amount of time.
Therefore, it's prevented to send in a minimum of time the same message several times, but if you wait some time, you can send the same message again.
Try it as a normal registered user.
It's similar. If you use the flood protection, it prevents you to send messages inside a chosen time period, indifferent which text the message contains.Or some kind of flood protection?

Yep, you are right. I tried it as a normal user and then the same message appeared. Can you tell the exact duration the user has to wait until he can post the same message again? Seems to be more than 3 - 4 minutes.
Or some kind of flood protection?
Seems to be a good idea, but is it possible to turn it off in a DEV or STAGE environment?rich wrote: It's similar. If you use the flood protection, it prevents you to send messages inside a chosen time period, indifferent which text the message contains.

I think it's relative, but it shouldn't take that long time.Can you tell the exact duration the user has to wait until he can post the same message again? Seems to be more than 3 - 4 minutes.
The flood protection is default on off. But I see in your configuration report, you have set 15 secunds.Seems to be a good idea, but is it possible to turn it off in a DEV or STAGE environment?

When I try to post while the timer has not run off: Will the timer start from the beginning again?rich wrote:

Yep, but the 15 Seconds are only the normal duration a user has to wait between two posts. The other duration when a user tries to post the same text again is much longer. It seems to be at least 2 minutes, but i will try to make some more tests to find out the exact durationrich wrote:

I think this thread can be marked as "solved" now.
EDIT: Adding one (or more spaces) to a post does not help to overcome the flood protection. Pressing <Return> does the trick :silly:
