Bugs & Maintenance Requests (Page 5 of 5)

The forum has always been a bit buggy. Part of the issue is that it's integrated into the site as opposed to being one massive super forum. I'll check with the developers.

I'll also check on mods getting booted.

As an experiment, for the last two, I only Suspended the accounts. Both times, I got kicked off and had to log in again. However, if I Delete an account, this does not happen.

There is a lot of code for that page. Most of which I can't see to evaluate. It could be that since the person being Deleted MIGHT be logged in at the time, the site simply removes the page (and account)--catching the moderator as well. It could also be that the page refresh is doing something wrong by kicking anyone currently reading the page off the system while it rebuilds the page without the offending account on it.

Thanks for the testing. We'll take a look.

Something a little strange. I have "Auto Renew" set for my account, yet I had to manually renew today. It didn't do it automatically. Was this an artifact of the six months extra given to us?

Are people still getting kicked off?

And I also still get kicked off if I stay too long in the forums. Fyi, I don't believe this problem existed years ago because I've written long brainstorming posts since we cut over to this site. Back then it never happened. Not sure when it first started. I believe Kdot looked at some of the site cookies at one time and found some that may contribute to the timeouts. My memory is fuzzy on that, though. I'll try using Edge for a while to see if the problem is just with Chrome, then post an update here.

Thanks.

Interesting. MS Edge has the same timeout problem in the forums. On a hunch, though, I went through all of my Google Chrome settings to see if any of my choices might be interfering with the operation of the site/forums. Mostly it involved carving out exceptions for TNBW in a number of my strict settings (e.g., tracking, advertising, popups, etc.).

The problem appears to have gone away; I left my cursor in one of the forum posts for much of the evening, and wasn't logged out (yet). It usually logs me out in under an hour. Let's hope it stays gone. I'll update this if it reappears.

EDIT: Cool. Well over 12 hours sitting in this forum/thread, and I still haven't been kicked off the site. I can die happy now.

Still happening. Something Needs To Be Done.

I doubt Sol would do such a thing. A few greater priorities exist on this site than checking out a little thing like this. (I've been programming computers since 1962 -- using IBM punched cards and reel-to-reel tape as backup.)

We have this on the list. Sorry for the delay.
