it's annoying to me too, i leave the tab there and later come and click a link to some forum to see what's new and i'm logged out and i see everything in gray, then i have to login at the upperleft corner which takes me to My Games when i wanted to see the forums.
i would like to hear some good arguments against it apart from the "prank" one told by ES. otherwise i think lickattack could do this in a matter of minutes. if you share a computer you should lock your session when afk.
if lack has the money tell him he could hire me im a good coder. i want 300,000 usd a year.

If it's changed, I think 24 hours is plenty. I just don't want to hear people complain about forgetting to log off and someone getting on their account and ruining their turns.

I have literally left this site over this 99% common feature on every other website ever not being present here. I have come back several years alter to see if it has been fixed and I can see that it has not. Is there truly any particular reason it has not? Your concern about being forgetting to log out is not a concern at all since the "keep me logged in" check box is an opt-in during login. When used on a public computer one simply would do nothing (not click the opt in box).
Since creating this topic I have logged into the previously mentioned forum 1 time. That is one single login over the last 3 years. I visit the site every day but my "active" time is only 4 days (less than 96 hours) since I am put offline after a couple of minutes of inactivity. The one time I had to re login was when I used my work computer and chose not to have the site keep my logged in.
Once again, I want to stress my concern that almost every other site has this same option, yahoo, google, comcast, facebook, as well as most private sites. Except this site.
I once again, respectfully, ask you to please consider adding a "keep me logged in" check box like every other site has which will keep users from having to log in constantly, BUT STILL automatically marks them as inactive after the traditional 15 minutes or whatever the current setting is now. This would not affect speed games at all, turns, or anything except prevent users from typing in their account information over and over and over again.
And yes, I still refuse to use any browser based password manager for this - even though it will fill in the fields it is A) not the same whatsoever, and B) now how I choose to use my computer or be lax with my security.
Therefore, can this please be reconsidered? I am literally only asking for a feature that will make the site at least as modern as 2006.

Notice how the topics were merged? I wasn't responding to your topic, but to the other topic of keeping the login time longer.
If there is a checkbox that allows the password to be saved, then that is different, IMO.

I can see that nothing will come of this thread, I guess I was just being hopeful. I will be leaving again after my current games are up and will let my friends know that nothing has changed or will change. Goodluck with the site.

agentcom wrote:This is the way of feature implementation on this site. There are lots of features that people want and a mostly volunteer base trying to sort through them. If I had to guess, I would say that very few of the users of this site have this problem. I rarely, if ever, have to log back in, but that is because I click around between my games and the Forum. I might have to log in a couple of times a day, even on days that I spend a lot of time online.
Basically, I'm saying that the suggestion hasn't been rejected, but I feel (based on my experience here) that there are a fair amount of other simple fixes that probably have higher priority for users and moderators.
