Really strange...

[mrgameandwaluigi42]

Whenever I try to interact with a pokemon (my own or someone elses), it says,
"Sorry, you've already interacted with ____ today. The interaction was registered at (current time)."

Do those count as interactions? Or am I just getting a huge bug?

[WhoKnows_WhoCares]

Your only able to interact with a pokemon once in a 24 hour period. The system logs IP addresses in order to do this, and when you see that message it means that your IP address has already clicked on that pokemon.

It doesnt count as an interaction

If your seeing that message then one of 2 things are causing it.

1. you clicked that pokemon at the time is said you clicked it at

2. someone using your ip address (either on your computer or via an ISP that randomises its IP addresses) clicked on that pokemon at the time it said.

It is not a bug, but if its the second option that your experiancing, it is a problem for you.

I often get the message, regardless of the last time I interact.

I haven't seen a normal message in at least 2 days.

It's definitely a bug.

Plus, I highly doubt that my sister
a.) found out about this site
b.) got onto my account on my mom's computer
c.) Click on every exact pokemon that I click at exactly the same time.

It does not necessarily mean your sister. Which ISP do you use?

[mrgameandwaluigi42]

I hate to sound stupid, but what's an ISP?

[WhoKnows_WhoCares]

Internet Service Provider - what company do you (or your parents) pay to get onto the internet

Side note, your sister wouldnt need to be on your account, just your computer in order to log the same IP address as its unique to computers, not accounts

Actually while it's not even necessarily unique, a static IP would be unique to a network unless specifically set up in such a way as to give each computer its own IP address.

Hmmm...I'm 90% sure it's Charter.

[Pikachu3828]

Unfortunately I don't know of Charter so I don't know the technical specifications of how they operate. Are you barred from clicking on every single Pokémon you try, every single day? What happens if you wait until 24 hours after the listed time then click on a Pokémon again?

[Shrine Sprite]

I should clarify on my situation. The click WORKS, as far as I can tell. It just gives me the error message as though I'd interacted twice.

e.g. I just clicked Ace's Metapod and got: "We registered the interaction at 3:37pm 05/09/2010", which is now. So I know that my click worked; it just gives me the error DESPITE it working.

Edit: It's a browser issue. It doesn't happen on IE.

Interesting. Are you using Firefox?

[Shrine Sprite]

Yeah.

[mrgameandwaluigi42]

Me too.
It's probably that.

[Undead]

I've had that happen when using firefox as well, I think what happens in the page times out and refreshs itself, therefore what you think is the first click is actually the second visit to the page (IE second click) which is why it gives the error and the click still works. Internet Explorer doesn't have this problem (Auto refresh doesn't seem to ever happen on it) So switching browsers seems to be the best fix unless you can find a more stable internet connection
