It's possible this only happens when you haven't logged into an account for a while so it pops up the 'welcome back' webpage.

But I've noticed that logging into my alts logs me out of the forums.

1) Please don't log me out. That's just silly. I could have been typing a new thread or a reply. It's extremely pitiful that your users have gotten so used to the flaky website that they type out their posts in a wordpad so they won't lose it from being auto logged out. That's so pitiful! This should not be a problem! No other website we use has this problem!

2) If logging into an account can log me out, can you please just do the reverse and keep me logged in whilst I play the game? I can't speak for everyone but I would be very surprised if I'm the only one who browses the forums while playing AFKscape. If I spend 6 minutes focused on the game while I cure and feed my PoF animals I really hate coming back to the forums and finding myself logged out.

3) Can the welcome back messages be...I don't know, reconsidered? This is one of the big problems with Alt Culture. Since you don't have a method for us to tell you that we own all of these accounts you have to assume every account MIGHT be a different person, so you welcome 'them' back when they haven't been around for a while. This is silly. If, like WoW and other MMORPGs I've played, we had ONE login with MULTIPLE characters, you wouldn't have to welcome me back when I literally am in the middle of playing on my main just because I logged into an alt I haven't used for 4 months.




Sorry for rambling but this is just so silly. I want a new website.

There's a lot of silly things that kick you out of being logged in, one being what you mentioned above. Another is that god awful "check to confirm you're human" popup which shows a green tick that you are human, but then upon redirecting you back to whatever thread you were on, it just automatically logs you out. This seems to happen every 10-20 posts I do on the forums, very frustrating. Another is the 1 hour force log out. If we wanted to log out, we will, don't force us.

These forums really need to be made a lot more user friendly, without all these annoying extras which honestly is one of the reasons this place is so dead now.

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

We got a new website which was made mobile friendly. What we need is a new forum system.

You should be able to login with several accounts using different browsers; I do that anyway. You can also direct traffic from one browser through one IP and another through a second. That said, this entirely system is ancient and any changes for something like this are unlikely to happen given what I imagine is going to be a substantial amount of developer time required.
