This may seem like a simple and perhaps stupid problem, but my profile seems to log out every 5-10 minutes... enough so that between playing games, I often have to log back in. After 20 or 30 minutes of inactivity, it's almost certain that it's somehow logged me out.

I'm currently using Chrome, and I have no problem staying logged in on other websites, so I doubt it's a cookies or cache issue... could it be some kind of auto-timeout? If so, it seems set to a rather low value.

this website has an auto log out after only about 10 minutes of 0 activity, its there to protect your account information.

Yep I have the same issue. It's really annoying having to login every time. There should be a checkbox for "remember me".

They should have an option to encrypt your session to your current IP so the session can't be hijacked.

I know that, I was there.

It still doesn't make sense, remember me options can be secure if implemented properly (many sites do it properly) so that's no excuse.

Either they are lazy and don't feel the need to put in a proper and secure remember function or they forgot about it.

Cool, so they had it and changed it... I'm sure they'll fix it up later :unsure: Was at best a minor annoyance, although it would be nice if it stayed logged in.

Also, a bit off-topic, but notifications don't show replies to my threads? Unsure if they're meant to.

IF you have it set under notifications in your profile, you should see notifications, but, then again, there are a ton of bugs with the website, and more with the game, be happy anything works lol
