The thing that annoys me: I'm in the forums, if I leave and come back I have to sign in again. Push the wrong button, forum closes, need to log in again, answer a phone call or text need to log in again, check a news post link or facts need to log in again...

No, thats only if you go over one of the log out timers.

You dont have to constantly do that.

Dong U Dead said :
Push the wrong button, forum closes, need to log in again Again, yes- if you close the forums or browser and effectively terminate your own session, the forums should log you out as there's no way to know that you didn't leave deliberately where someone could (potentially, for people who share a computer with others) come back and access your account..
Dong U Dead said :
answer a phone call or text need to log in again If you need to take a phone call that exceeds the hour activity limit, you're not active on the forums anyways and there's no need to stay logged in while you're handling your business.
Dong U Dead said :
check a news post link or facts need to log in again... You could always do this in a separate browser tab or window, provided you're not spending over an hour away from the site to browse. If you are browsing other sites for that amount of time, then you're not active enough to stay logged in.

It's worth noting that not everyone is a blazing fast typer and, over the years, people have found themselves logged out while composing a response to a thread. In cases like that, the way to prevent that is to either a) compose your response in a notepad or other such word processor of your choice and paste the response when ready or b) to periodically "Preview" your post, which effectively lets the forums know you're still there and composing an answer, which you'll be posting soon.

Also, I said an hour in this post. It feels like an hour... it might be 30 minutes, I'm not 100% confident but it's plenty of time for me.

Tons of websites don't log you out.

Facebook, YouTube, Google, just to name a few.

It's only a security risk if you're on a public computer, but you have to take precautions with logging yourself out of Facebook, email, YouTube, etc. on public computers already so I don't see why this has to be any different.

Not having the option of keeping yourself logged in when you're using your own private computer just feels archaic and overly protective.

RuneScape lacks the interface to close all sessions (kinda). There's an interface to end all mobile game sessions, so something similar would need to be implemented for the web logins. Kopaka said :

I'd rather have a service err on the side overly protective before leaving my account logged in without an interface to tell me all the places I'm still perma-logged on.

+1

So theres nothing wrong here as it just jagex looking out for its playerbase.

I mean why do ppl want their acc to be easier to hack?

That makes 0 sense.

Hence why the timer exists.

So sick and tired of the forums randomly logging me out when I go to press post on something... :@

Shouldn't be a force log out timer at all in my opinion.....

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
