automatic log-off is kind of annoying...

[Guest]

you know when it's been 4 hours you're logged in, you're kicked out
and need to login again... could the timer be reset everytime we load a page ?

being online all day long, I check now and then if I have completed productions or if I need to reload a store, but after 4 hours, I'm kicked out, even if I reloaded a page 30 seconds ago. that's really annoying.

thanks

log in and make a bookmark and after that you are always logged in when you use the bookmark. Thats why they say u shouldnt paste any URL since it has user specific info in it.

[Guest]

a bookmark won't help. I'm talking about when you actually are in the game.

let's say I start to produce 1000 gas in one factory. if I want to go see my other factories, I click on production, then, BAM! I'm logged out. it does that once every 4 hours. I know it's not complicated to just log back in, but it's annoying.

You get 4 hours? I feel cheated. I only get 3 hours before getting kicked out.

[Guest]

haha, you guys are lucky....... i normaly get kicked out after 1 hour already

You know, it always seemed to me that if I was just killing time checking the market or something, it was fine. But as soon as a factory stopped and I'm racing to restart it, that's when it times out.

(See Elwood, the "Twisted Evil" kind of applies there. )

This logout serves a couple purposes though. Obviously it's a security thing, there to ensure that if someone did get access to your url it's only useful for a short time before requiring the password.

Secondly, it's protection against bots, which could potentially cripple the server if overused. The current setup hampers them greatly, requiring not only a login every 3 hours but a different URL for each login. If you let people stay logged in indefinitely, that's exactly what you're opening up.

No, it means the computers are out to get us humans. They're evil and they like it.

Great job Knolls, help Elwood - he needs it with his high age (<- tongue out of the mouth)

[Guest]

I think it's a conspiracy. I mean, all these old people don't actually need any help. They are old (mature I think they call it) and have all that experience. They can handle themselves. The only reason they don't say "We'll be alright!" is they actually enjoy watching younger people do it.

Sitting back and letting someone else do it is one of the greatest joys in life (<tongue in cheek)

LOL



Hey, I really like this thread. Maybe I open one in "Fun Talk" and ask for a little help for the old man (me)

Hm, the problem with the old people is: they will never get cheap goods on the market. Why?

- they are getting tired earlier then the kids and must go to bed
- they need more breaks (tea-time, ...)
- their reaction is too slow
- they can't coordinat their hands and fingers as fast as the kids

So could this be the reason why they let young people do their job?
