    Searching on this site

    What's with the "you have to wait 30 seconds between searches thing?

    Why is this?

    Most forums have something like this, and I have no idea why. It's so annoying!

    I always just thought it was so people couldn't overload the forum by running endless searches...

    It is annoying as hell though.

    Especially if the first search didn't turn up what you were looking for...

    i have never ran into this issue... usually i spend more than 30 seconds looking at what the search brought up

    Finally got my hands on m canon eos digital rebel t1i with just the kit lens 18mm-55mm and another lens that came with the package 75mm-300mm and learning a lot.
