hmm? you even reduced the logout timer from formerly 30 minutes to 15 minutes now, regardless of all the complaints you get already?

ah well, i will just reload the forums every 10 minutes then to stay logged in, after all it´s your bandwidth, not mine

Actually
I was wrong, its 45 but if you close your browser window it will log
you out. Personally I stay logged in all day even when I'm doing other
things but I am usually back and forth in the forums frequently. If
your at work or whatever or alt tabbing ingame, its likely that it is
expiring yes. If you made a post and then within 10 minutes while
writing another post you got logged out that would be a problem. If you
logged into the forum, were idle for 30 minutes then started a long
post and got logged out before you submitted that would explain it.

I use FireFox, and I stay logged in as long as I don't close the browser, even if I do close the tab.

I do have to close it occasionally when the boss comes by though (even though this is my personal notebook).

Bug

Possable Fix

Forum Issues, 30th July 2005

Below is a list + summary of issues users of the forums are currently experiencing - I've contacted both Lithtech and SOE about them - Lithtech say SOE need to ask them.. And SOE say "We have alerted Lithium to this again and again".

• WYSIWYG

The "What You See Is What You Get" editor seems to produce HTML tags the forum bans (style tags) - It's obious the admins have updated the forum to disallow some HTML in an update and not realised that the WYSIWYG editor is rendering it.

1. Try removing HTML from the system and create a BB Code filter ([IMG] [URL] tags etc)
2. Fix WYSIWYG Editor to not render style tags

• FireFox Browser

When using Mozilla FireFox to brows the forums - The WYSIWYG Editor does not allow you to press submit.. The "Edit as HTML" button will sometimes just load the top of the page when creating a new thread.

1. Fix the WYSIWYG Editor
2. Automatically select HTML as the default error for non-IE sessions

Firefox is not an officially supported browser of Lithium and while they constantly make improvements in compatibility it is not something that shold be expected to change in the short term.

• Forum Ranking System

The forum ranking system still takes star rating into account even though they have been removed. Some members dont get promotions regardless of normal or star rank (I'm currently 2 ranks below what I should be).

1. Query the database and give every member top star rating (May as well, it means nothing now and would be a quick fix)

Hmmm, if your member account works, would you please save one of those pages so we can test the page with the problematic browsers?

Just press CTRL+S save the file somewhere and make in available on some random Webserver (if you have none, I'll give you one). If just want to try it here to see where the bug might be coming from.

SWG Forums had it - But people abused it and it was too hard to moderate.. As for all the problems we have - As you can see by the responses I got.. They don't even care about fixing the errors.
