are you using some kind of password manager or password autofill thing? do you have weird extensions?Ashenai wrote:yep same
no idea what's going on, but I'm almost certain it's just some client-side form-filling snafu, I don't think it's a problem

Re: Board Stuff
no extensions on mobile, but I do let firefox remember my password and autofill it, yes

observations:
- for me the session seems to last a couple of hours at most (on mobile Chrome + Android)
- my desktop session (Chrome on both Win and Mac) seems to last for months
- I logged in with mobile Firefox yesterday and that session is still active now. this is different from Chrome
- I saw the same autofilled-password-in-plaintext-on-the-login-button behavior in Firefox that Ashenai did
- Having "Remember Me" checked by default makes a universe of difference. thanks, rylinks

Re: Board Stuff
The getting logged out thing is happening again
Re: Board Stuff
damn that guy works fast
Re: Board Stuff
do you stay logged in on other things? like you must right? other forums maybe? stuff that isn't appsAshenai wrote:The getting logged out thing is happening again
i wonder how we solve this
like i can make another forum, and then we can have you sign into that, and then see if you just stay signed in. then we'll know it's us for sure
edit but it's not like it could be a broken script or anything ... i think. like somehow javascript would be signing you out? maybe? i'm gonna have to hook up phone stuff so i can see the cookie

if it's just me idc, it's really not a problem
Re: Board Stuff
ok so, our hosting provider like, uh, i would assume, most hosting providers has multiple tiers of service. performance tiers! think like, basic better best. we've been on the basic plan the entire time we've been here on account of, uh, it being the cheapest, and i actually don't know how much / how many resources we need? not a lot, right? we're not hosting youtube here
but that's fine because the control panel keeps us / me up to speed on our performance. not exactly the least biased person to be doing so, but for most of if not all of the time we've been here we've been in the green. entirely in the green. for like years!
anyway, this is all being brought up for a reason, obviously. i don't know if anyone has noticed or anything, but the board is mostly in the orange / red now despite less activity. maybe this makes sense though because the board or at least the database is much, much larger now, and maybe that whole thing is being served to, uh, everyone? is that how it works ?f or as tech saavy as i can be, i'm not really a server person.
so, anyway, again, while i did say cheapest earlier, it is actually still i think a little expensive and so the idea of dropping like an extra six to ten dollars a month for a much better plan, we're on tier one they are suggesting tier four, is kind of a, uh, you know.\ and i don't mean to be conspiratorial or anything, but, uh, if their business is selling more expensive higher tiered plans, then...
so, again, if things suddenly stop working we do have a discord that is entirely free and where a handful of people exclusively post content and talk to each other, but things will not stop working forever. people may not even notice things not working if things go well, but things never go well
edit - maybe that's like a self fulfilling prophecy

Re: Board Stuff
maybe it is actually something on our end, though. like trackers hammering our site? an unoptimized database? like just jumping over to another host to then have the same problem would be kind of funny. it's mostly the you should upgrade thing that has me a bit suspicious on our current provider, and also that you know, like the site is loading poorly. maybe they're responsible for the cookie thing too
Re: Board Stuff
I rarely have issues with the board. When I do I yell about them on the discord because yelling is funny. But based on my experiences, I see no reason to do anything. Maybe other people have seen more frequent outages? I dunno.

Re: Board Stuff
Hm. Maybe the logs can tell you/us what's happening and why? You have logs, right?

Re: Board Stuff
no, the whole database isn't being constantly served to everyone. the board software will query the database to find the information it needs, like "what are all the posts on page 420 of this particular thread" and such things. as the database grows those queries can start taking longer and longer until it becomes a problem; this problem will happen much sooner if the database has a poorly designed schema or it's not tuned correctly or whatever
