I'm trying to bump a sell thread for today:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10412730

I posted yesterday at 11:56am. It is now 12:42pm. (I have time set on EST.)

It will not let me bump as I get this when I try:

"The following errors occurred with your submission
1. You are not allowed to bump your own thread before the minimum allowed time has passed. Please wait , 15 Minute(s), 13 Second(s) before attempting to reply to your own thread"

Not sure why I'm getting this. Never had any problems like it before.
Not that it's an uber problem, but still it's not before the 24hrs.

Thank you.

We actually, for quite a few months now, have had a new feature that restricts people from doing a bump before 24 hours on their threads if there are no new posts in it. There is only a slight problem with it though, as it accounts for daylight savings. So if I put in 24 hours, then it treats it like 23 hours. Which means those people can still get banned. So I upped it to 25 hours, which should treat it like 24 hours for most. There are a few, because of varying daylight savings that this is 25 hours for. It's something we are monitoring and trying to find a solution for.

Easiest way right now is to get a Ventari's mod to bump it if you see one online. It's the only viable option I see right now.

If I run a 5 day listing and post it at 8:00PM, through the next days I can bump it at 9:00, then 10:00, then 11:00 and then at Midnight.

In a only a few days the bump time becomes burdensome for most people who work days or have school.

Plus, I may be wrong but the 25 hour bump limitation is not currently mentioned in the Ventari rules. I think it should be noted.

KraAno - Like I said the offer is there. But, for most, Earth is right.

On most occasions early bumpers tend to be still on Guru when they should have bumped, very few people bump exactly 24h.

Inde will sort a work around to the issue.

Thank you for the info!

Yeah, like I said, it's not a major problem, but I was wondering if it was myabe something on my end that could be screwing something up. Glad it's not though. lol.

Thanks.
