I am trying to log in after being off for about 2 hours and I am being told I have to wait 14 min & 39 sec. Why is this?

If you are impatient and click several times "login" it will log you in, and then try and log you in again.

Because you can only log in once every 14 minutes it will stop you logging in again. So wont let you log in.

If this happens you should be able to go directly to http://magicduel.com/layout.php since you are logged in.

Ah this is due to the security code at the login page.

May be u were typing the wrong security code in ur first few trying and not able to login
Then u did typed the correct security code but before the page completes its loading u presumed that u have typed the wrong security code again so u would have refreshed or stopped the page from loading.
When u try to login again u will get that 15 mins cool downtime since the serve will mark u as a login and logout ID due to the above actions.

How to avoid it
1) wait till the page comepletly loads even if u found in the last moment that u have typed the wrong security code.
2) If u don't understand the security code try to get a new security code (use the refresh button besides the security code)

And what, Welcome to MD hehe

An error on the security code doesn't cause the login cooldown. I know because I have messed up the code many times and never gotten the cooldown.

Thanks for you help. Finally just waited it out and was able to get in.
