texte = A really slick idea would be to use my orig. suggestion with a little database that used their ipaddress to see how long the last wait was. this would prevent them from just using the back button to try again at the shorter wait time. you could also give them an attempts counter in the database and only let them try like 3 times or so. once they successfully logged in, you could reset the values.>Another idea would be to send them to a page with a meta refresh on it>>>yea,.. what am i thinking, yes, i presume that it is making multiple>>calls, but i would be this is a very efficient process that has very>>little overhead.>>>>>Thanks Charles - sound like a reasonable solution - I presume>>>there'll be little if any processor load during the wait??
