Why does session timeout so quickly?
-
This is a minor thing, but I don't understand why a logged-in session times out so quickly? Just now I was playing on the main website, and clicked to open 'my stats' in a new window, and had to log-in again, even though I was still active in the main lex window!
-
@anexparrot I've noticed this as well. It got noticeably worse recently and is very annoying. I shouldn't have to log in constantly any time I want to visit a different part of the site. The site is welcome to log me out if I've been sitting idle in the player list for an hour or so (i.e. how it should be functioning), but whatever they've done needs sorting out asap.
-
This still isn't fixed. Very amateurish.
-
@dan I have actually never experienced this. I often switch out of the main window to check the Forum, see my game record, etc., and when I am done the main window is always waiting there for me on the other tab (unless I leave the computer idling for an hour or so).
-
@thatguythere202 I just logged on now for one game. I completed the 5/5 game. Then went to 'my stats' and I was forced to log in again.
-
@dan do the stats open up in a separate tab on your browser? They do for me, and my original game/lobby tab stays open behind it.
-
@dan, I definitely agree with the "very annoying" part of your post. I don't think that my bank account is any more strenuous about login than lex. And, i don't think that this little game is anywhere close to justifying itself as worthy of fort knox entry treatment.

@thatguythere202 I'm talking about https://www.lexulous.com/v2/stats.

@dan the site you mention for checking stats is the one I go to to view my game record. I get there by clickinng the "Games" tab in the box that pops up when I click my name in the player list. It automatically opens a new tab inside my browser and leaves the lobby/game tab open next to it. Is this how you do it?
-
@thatguythere202 No, I prefer to go to the stats dropdown top right and then 'my stats'. Don't think it really matters. If the session's timed out, you'll have to log in again. The only upside to all this is as long as you stay in the actual game room, it doesn't kick you out.
-
@dan I think it does make a difference, at least to this extent: When you follow the procedure you've outlined, it opens up the stats in the same browser window. You can get back to the game room with the Back button, but from what you folks are saying I get the impression that login times out rather quickly. Following my procedure, I can stay in the stats section as long as I like, and the game room (along with my game table, if any) will stay open in the other browser tab; no need to log back in.
-
BUT (this just happened to me) it does seem that logging in again is taking longer. When your opponent decamps right after the game without responding to your Rematch request, you are left hanging and have to reload the whole site. That's not new; but just now it took me longer to get back in than I have become used to.
-
@thatguythere202 I use middle click so it always opens in a new tab anyway.

It is. That is the main reason why having to relog in has become annoying to me. it used to be just a click and it was done. Now it is 10 or more seconds...... -
@dan ah ok.
-
@dan I just tried it. I don't have a middle button, but I used right-click and the Stats page opened, not in a new tab, but in a separate iteration of my browser. When I do it my way it's the same browser, different tab. I wonder if that makes a difference in terms of how long Lex will keep your original room login active.
