Logouts

November 22, 2005 8:16 AM

A little bug: I keep finding myself logged out against my will. A redesign glitch?

Nope, shouldn't have anything to do with that. How about clearing your cookies and logging back in? Also, describe where you seem to be logged out automatically, if you can reproduce it.

Sorry, I should've said I'd already deleted the cookies and logged back in, but I found myself logged out again a little while later. (I'd also disabled various plugins for Safari, but that didn't help either.)

Also, it's happened four times today so far, and a couple of times yesterday.

I'll have a quick zip around the site now and see if I can reproduce it...

hey, how about a "clear all your cookies" button?

(you know, i'm not even sure that's possible - i guess it is, right? you'd just run through all the cookies presented in the request and zap them...)

While were talking redesign and since I don't want to start a new thread for it... is the default font size smaller? I've been awake far too long to tell.

Yeah, I changed the default font size to something slightly smaller that corresponds to the menu nav size a bit better. Members can reset their font sizes on the preferences page.

Did someone say font sizes? 'My Posts' and 'My Comments' is pretty freaking huge (the thread titles for instance are style="font-size:150%;font-weight:bold;").

I'll second that, the font size is freaking huge. But everywhere else it's nice and small.

Gah, I can't seem to reproduce it, but Safari is giving me spinning beach balls of death all over the shop today, so I'm guessing it is to blame, not this place.

(I can't believe I've started two MeTa threads in as many weeks that are basically nonsense... sorry about that!)
