Lexx 2,336 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The super fast logout seriously needs a fix. Especially on mobile with slow speed it is a very annoying pain, because you have to go through more pages than normally necessary. Makes me stop browsing the forum. 3 Quote "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to post Share on other sites

Amentep 5,790 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 According to the two factor thread you still get logged out with two factor. Also in that thread The Guildmaster (admin) states that they are working to fix the time-outs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fenixp 2,074 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Oh I suppose this makes more sense over here, so: Use this with Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey extension via adding a new script: // ==UserScript== // @require http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js // @name Remove unnecessary information // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 0.1 // @description // @author You // @match http*://forums.obsidian.net/* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { 'use strict'; let func = function() { $('li.backer-badge').hide() $('li.ipsSpacer_bottom').hide() $('li.ipsResponsive_hidePhone').hide() $('article.ipsComment').css('background', 'black') } func() setInterval(func, 1000) })(); Gets you this: (Removes badges and stuff you can also find on individual user pages + increases post background's contrast to help individual posts stand out more and I feel it's easier on the eyes) This: // ==UserScript== // @name Remove ignored users // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 0.1 // @description // @author You // @match http*://forums.obsidian.net/* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { 'use strict'; let func = function() { $('.ipsComment_ignored').hide() } func() setInterval(func, 1000) })(); Hides ignored users thingy.

rjshae 9,179 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Is there a configuration option to stay logged on? I didn't see one; it's a nuisance now to have to sign on every time. Quote "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to post Share on other sites
Bartimaeus 2,025 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) @Fenixp Looks so much better with that clean-up script, thanks. This shows at the top of my profile no matter how many times I click on it and try to "complete" my profile. Additionally, would like to mention that we regular users don't seem to be able to set our profile banners, which makes for rather clashing looks. Should either be disabled or be able to set it, IMO.

I didn't see one; it's a nuisance now to have to sign on every time. Obsidian is working on increasing the "session" time. Hopefully it will be for like a week or so, at minimum. There's really nothing "sensitive" about these forums accounts that requires timed sessions or even multi-factor authentication. If people are storing their social security numbers on this forum, they are doofs. There's essentially just words about games and even less meaningful stuff. Edited April 26, 2019 by Marceror added "at minimum". Please reach out if you have any questions about this edit. Perhaps we can have a Skype discussion, or maybe I'll fly to where you live if you are really concerned about my need to edit this post. I want you to feel secure about this. 1 Quote "Now to find a home for my other staff."My Project Eternity Interview with Adam Brennecke Link to post Share on other sites

Gfted1 5,887 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I was going to edit your post further just to say "Sup" but then I decided that was probably funnier in my head and an "abuse of my powas".

213374U 2,578 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I noticed that Gfted1's rank is "Forum Moderator" and he's part of the "Moderators" group. He also has a huge "MODERATOR" tag right under all of that. My considerable deductive powers suggest that he may be a moderator, but I would need more evidence to make a definitive statement. 1 5 1 1 Quote - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Maybe 3 or 4 flashing images that things like "Moderation is Key", "Moderating is just my thing", "I Moderate, therefore I am", etc., etc.... could help add a little more clarity on this matter. I do love how this forum is really taking a "hit 'em over the head" sort of approach to getting a message across. But have they really done enough yet?

LadyCrimson 4,050 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The forum loads a fair bit slower on my older Galaxy S5 phone mini-tablet. I think hubby brought home a S7 to use (I love freebies!) but I haven't got around to setting it up. I also wonder what it is about the new software that keeps the loading bar and loading twirly icon going and going and going for a long while, long after the page (seems to) loads and I can read/scroll etc. It's like it's hanging on something for 10-15 seconds. The loading bar line seems new/specific to this forum, it's not just the regular browser thing I think? Doesn't show on other sites/pages anyway. Quote “Things are as they are.

If you mean the auto login feature, that's not working for me, I've double checked and it says it's enabled, but it's not happening. edit: I've also noticed that on occasion while loading, the forum will show for a brief second in the browser like a read-only version with all the graphics stripped and showing hyperlinks. Not sure what causes it, but just letting you guys know about that glitch. edit2: Actually, it seems to show up for the politics thread? Maybe because of the video? Also, in response to the earlier comment about the double new line indent, I'm not liking that either. Edited April 27, 2019 by smjjames Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smjjames 466 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Double post because, uh, I don't know for sure if it shows edited posts as new posts: I'd like to lodge a complaint of an annoyance (that's what this thread is for, right?), you know the 'forums' 'blogs' 'activity', etc buttons at the top? Well, the hotspot for that extends about a half inch below the text and the hitbox is pretty close to the forum index buttons, making it easy to hit it when moving the mouse to those buttons. It's a minor annoyance, but I wouldn't be the only person to find it annoying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LadyCrimson 4,050 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Re: the double space - the forum puts in some height space automatically with just one Return, no need to double tap it. Like that. It's when you don't want the space but still want to start a new line that's annoying on say a phone, because you can't do the Shift+Return to prevent the spacing. 18 minutes ago, smjjames said: I don't know for sure if it shows edited posts as new posts: They don't show up as new posts.

Not sure if I'm losing my mind, but I could have swore that the like heart was originally colored blue rather than red immediately after the updated site launched. The blue seemed much more appropriate for a like. Than when I came back at some point the next day I noticed it had been changed to from blue to red. Or, I may just be losing my mind.
