Soulcysters is a HUGE site, with HUNDREDS of members on the board at any given time, as well as, another several hundred visitors.

Searching (which also includes clicking the 'new posts' link) is EXTREMELY server intensive so the system has created a way to regulate the flow.

Without the 'flow' meter, the site would crash on a regular basis do to server overload.

I'm assuming that since this has escalated to the point of being a 'frustrating' issue for you that you make a lot of spelling errors. (Don't be embarrassed, I do, too).

You might want to use the FireFox browser which checks spelling 'as you type'. It's very handy, and might help alleviate your frustration. It's a simple fix.
