BuzzerBeater Forums

Would it be possible to stay logged-in, like its possible in many boards?

Agreed. It's incredibly annoying to be logged out after 10 mins of inactivity. I keep buzzerbeater up in the background sometimes and probably have to log on 8-10 times a day when i do.

and a big problem is when I reload a player detail page (p.e.: when I want to bid on a player some hours later).

When I was logged out, I came to the starting page and can't go back after logging in again. Then I need luck to find the player again in my FF history ;)

I think a lot of it depends on the computer, software etc as well. I know that I get logged out often on other computers but almost never on my computer.

Why can't users have an option in their settings or when they log in for "keep me logged in" that sets a cookie client side? And then have that cookie expire really far out (so it's effectively permanent). If the user chooses that setting, as long as they don't clear the cookies on the computer(s) they logged in from, if the site determined the user was inactive, it could query the cookie for the log-in information and thus "refresh" or "relogin" the session without requiring user intervention, but without impacting site performance compared to the current solution?

Even failing that, can we get something fixed so that the following no longer happens (it IS ongoing right now):
1) I log in, do a few things, walk away for 15 minutes or so.
2) I come back, I'm timed out and presented with the login page, but in the background colors from my settings.
3) After I put my details (or anything at all, really) into the login box, and hit "Login"... the page refreshes but does nothing at all with the information I just put in. After this refresh, the background color is back to default, and if I login again on the 2nd page, then it works correctly. Quite annoying to have to submit the form once with dummy information just to get the form that actually works.

This to me is also a security issue. By having the user time out after 15 or so minutes it helps keeps peoples usernames and passwords safer. Instead of getting tricked into logging into a fake BB site and letting someone screw it your team(and stay logged in) they would eventually get logged out and thus would have to wait for you to do it again to login.

I honestly dont mind the log out because its really not that big of a hassle to log back in.

thanks for the new possibility to stay logged in :)
