So, theoretically, if one had their page set to refresh every 10 minutes, they should stay logged in.

ANd I hadn't gotten around to firing the message off to Solice yet.

WotC_Mark is just that awesome!

Once you log in you have 30 minutes to surf another page on the D&D site or the system logs you out. At least that is how I wrote the code and how it worked in testing. If you are surfing the site and it randomly logs you out please let us know. I will be looking over that code again today just to make sure it is working as expected.

Thanx

For me it isn't random. I play with stuff then go away from the page to look things up or actually do some work, so your code is probably working fine. :D. I just knew that it was logging me off. Now that I know the set time I'll look to see if it is over 30 minutes when from the time I logged in to the next time I need to login. It more than likely is.

Yes in theory if you surfed a page every 10 minutes you would stay logged in. However there is a maximum limit to how long it would keep you logged in. Although how long that might be is a secret

Ok, it looks like it's working as intended. I guess the question is, can it be changed?

I like to leave the compendium open as I am gaming or working on the campaign I am running. As I am not looking at the web browser while I am doing this, it gets frustrating when I need to go back to the web browser, refresh it, re-log in every time I need to loko something up.

Another instance would be opening a magazine article to read. If it takes longer than 10 min to read...well you know.

On a positive note, the compendium itself works great.

Last night i was building a few NPCs for my campaign using the PH, bonus tools stat roller and the compendium. Whenever i came back to compendium after write something down or looking up info from the books I'd have to log back in. But the system doesn't tell me that i've logging out, the website still shows me logged in. I know this is how you may have designed it, but can compendium include log-in data/access in its window, or at least a count down of how long until it auto logs you out? Though I'd rather not have to log in each time i want to search a new thing on the system.

It would be nice if the Compendium refreshed your login so you would not be logged off. I like to use that as a reference while playing and planning...and having to log back in can be a pain...

It's a bit more complex than session expiration. Suffice to say, we let the servers manage that bit on their own.

Yeah, this is an active conversation here. We do have to have a logout from inactivity happen at some point, but what exactly that time limit should be is in active debate (in the "should be make it longer" sense of debate).
