@Pangloss, firefox saved the login and pwd years ago. it takes from near instantaneous to 25-30 seconds for the third party login to complete depending on the load to that pwd server. The delay is the problem since often i could probably play a turn in the time it takes to complete login(I often have a play in mind to make if the space is still available my next turn) and sometimes it is not even my turn in any games, hence i just wasted the time waiting for login to complete which probably averages 10-15 seconds.
(Excuse me, i must stoke the fire under the boiler to keep my OS running.)

@zaph, yes. I "just" have to click on it and wait for it to get all of its ducks in order --and that gets old. Years ago i had a Firefox add-on that re-logged Lex ievery few minutes. I loved it, but it went away some years back.

Desktop computer -- I am retired so i play the first time about 6am and the lst time about 11pm. On Win 7

@Pangloss, i play several different people on MEDIUM play. I think FAST means you are going to sit there playing from start to finish and with me each game last a week or so, but that;s several at a time....

this is such a fun game that i hate the fact that i spend more time signing in a half dozen times a day than playing it. You would think it is a bank account.

@betterlate1-0
In years past it has happened to me as well. I would leave a game and return to see that the tiles in my rack had changed.

Is there a Custom report generator for LEXULOUS for games played?
Answering such questions as: in the last fifty games what is the win/loss ratio of JRP32 VS JARGON2? Or, In the first 200 games of JRP32 VS FAEGERBLOCK what was the win loss ratio?

@rtfulngine numerous times i have hit that pass or swap button by accident and thankfully, it does require confirmation on the desktop version.

@jan5 I don't block those people who do not reply to a simple "Hello". I just drop them as players. Since i started playing online i feel that there are some people who view their opponent as just one more peripheral unit to their computing device instead of real people, like themselves.

I looked at the center tile options to see if the star had been added. That's when i saw the ghost.

Later, after i posted, i kinda figured it might have been there a long time. it really looks like a little pac-man gremlin....

"The management" did seem more attentive a while back.

Looking for a way to turn off the bingo confetti in settings, I noticed a new icon for the center tile -- see below

@thatguythere202 I should have read what had been recently requested before i made my post. It was kind of fun about 2 times, but got old fast....

Is there a way to turn off the "Confetti" on a bingo?

@dan, not exactly, you will notice that the word with that message in my example to mapmakre is "LIONHEAD" I just happen to have known that one for years -- it's a cichlid, or goldfish variety. Also in my original message, i referred to "an aggregate of dictionaries". That is in light blue (i think) and contains a link to an aggregate of about 400 (i last saw) general and specialty dictionaries. Searching for the word, that aggregate points to numerous (about 6) dictionaries with entries for Lionhead. What the message most often seems to mean is that the Collins doesn't have the word defined.

@mapmakere From my win7 desktop computer --

Since there is no category that I see for commentary I guess this category will do as well as any. I suppose that many of the people who play word games are logophiles like myself. So, this is for those of you using V2 and getting the definitions of accepted words as a trailer to your screen of the game you are on. When, instead of a definition you just get a notice of "- This word is acceptable for play in the US & UK dictionaries." or similar wording do you have a specific thought on that, before you look for the word in an aggregate of dictionaries? What is your thought?

I am using V2 of Lex on a desktop computer. The Lex word definitions of the words used in each game appear below the game display itself. Often the definition will begin with the words "Eye Dialect". After looking at that a couple of years, i decided to look it up:

@thatguythere202 said in Why does session timeout so quickly?:

"it does seem that logging in again is taking longer"
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, 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.

I bet the French would be mad that champagne is valid and I bet the Italians would be mad that Asti is not since it means it is less popular. Am I muddying this up with wines? Haha
No, you are showing the inconsistency of a supposedly consistent word list.
