Had you made a post less than 15 seconds before? Or had you edited a post/PM? Just searching for clues. BTW, I did get your PM a few minutes ago.

It's when I went to PM you the first time I got that, I hadn't made a post or edited a PM, I PM'd you as soon as I got on the site, and I got that, and done it again and it worked.

Unfortunately, after looking at the private message code, there is no explanation I can offer to the error you got. The code simply selects the date of your last PM, and compares it to the current time. If it's less than 15 seconds before the current time, you get an error. Confused

I had a problem like that when the server clock was running fast. Once it was put right if you'd made a post whilst the clock had been in the future you got that error because obviously the current time was not 15 secs greater than the last post time. That happened until we caught up with those posts made 'in the future'. Another side effect was that some of the posts got out of order.

Doesn't sound like whats happened here though.
