Hi, in an experiment we use the timer function. If participant do not make an input on the page, where we use the timer, they are send to another page, overleaping a few pages. We defined a condition, that these pages will only be displayed if the participant makes an input >0 on the page with the timer. Since the participant cannot make any input, once h has exceeded the time limit, this condition is not fulfilled and the participants, who exceeded the time-limit, overleaps those pages. The problem we have now, is that not only the participant who exceeded the time limit overleaps those pages, but in fact any new participant. If we restart the experiment using a different computer as server for limesurvey the problem disappears, but only as long, until some other participants exceeds the time limit. Then again all new participants overleap the pages. It seems the program saves something on the local hard-drive. How can this function be stopped? The timer should only stop the one person, who actually exceeds the time, not everybody else. Many thanks for your help! Max
