    How about a popup window or an "OK?" button when clicking the logout clickybutty on the front page? I have a habit of clicking that logout button when intending to click the User CP button and it logs me out sharpish. I then have to load a few pages to get logged in again.

    Does anyone else get this or are my hands not steady enough?

    Plus theres someone with a sig that links to this (don't click it):
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?s=&action=logout
    which annoyed the hell out of me. Can't remember who it is though. I support this confirm feature fully.

    Is anyone else a little unhappy with the automatic log out after a certain amount of time? It happens me a lot, as I typically browse three or four sites at a time, and get caught up on one for a while. After logging back in it seems to log back out regardless every couple of minutes...


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I think that's a setting in your CP Sarky. I'm never logged out unless I manually do so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Ah, so it is. Duly noted and fixed up. Thanks.:)

    Could a confirmation message be done for adding someone to your buddy list? I have a terrible habit of clicking on these by accident.

    Where's your sense of adventure?

    That doesn't strike me as a fun adventure.


  • Registered Users Posts: 78,404 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    How about a 60-second pop-up* timer before you are automatically logged out?


    * I know I feel dirty for advocating pop-ups. /me scrubs vigourously

    scrub for suggesting a popup. A log out thing like you get when you recieve a new pm (want to open it in a new window thing) would be cool i suppose, but i never log out. As soon as its possible i shall be hooking boards to my brain


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭b3t4


    Ok this is going to seem like a really dumba$$ question but where in the usercp does it go on about auto logout??

    That auto logout thing is driving me mad. I've looked in the user cp and just can't see it. Maybe I do need those glasses after all :)

    Thanks,
    A.

    well if ur dum enough to click on it.....................

    It is not acceptable to place links in your signature that are there for the sole purpose of causing nuisance.

    get off ur high horse, its not there to "causing nuisance". And it in no way violated the sig rules cause devore edited another sig of mine cause it violated the sig rules on one line by 5 charactors. So when I made that sig i checked.

    Leave my sig alone ffs, just cause u have the power to change it and dont like it does not mean u should be doing it

    By the way...

    From here.

    size one is the smallest text i can get (and i tried typing in "small" just in case) and
    • 7 lines of text, including the blank line.
    • All lines of text contain less that 90 charactors exepct the 3rd one that containes 90.
    Since it does not violate the sig rules... can u leave my sig alone ffs

    the log out button is tiny, all on its own in the corner, how in gods name could u hit it by accident! :)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    Ok, if I moderate your signature, the correct way to go about defending it is not to put it back and then come on here and give me grief. I've removed your signature again.

    Why else would you have a piece of text that talks about 'costing someone dearly' that links to the logout button?

    I've explained why the signature is unacceptable. You can't argue the 'letter of the law' in this case.


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Yea Azezil, I sometimes click it when I mean to click usercp. You'll know what I mean once you start getting old!

    Maybe move the logout button a little away from the other buttons on the fabled new front page?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,049 ✭✭✭Cloud


    I've modified the sig rules to include nuisance links. Bold Snowball.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 836 ✭✭✭Snowball


    why dont u lot start editing ur own sigs and the sigs of ur mods. or is this another "one rule for users and another rule for mods/admins"??

    I hope that didn't take up too much of your day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 836 ✭✭✭Snowball


    not that long, but i suspect u'll do nothing about it.

    When you go editing the sig rules just for me... muppetry


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    Yes, I understand that you feel picked upon, but you're not the only nuisance link I've culled from a signature lately. You're also not the worst one, but that's beside the point. Any chance you had of appeal went out the window when you put it back without consultation and then came on here giving me grief.

    What possible benefit is it to you to have a muppety link in your signature to the log out page? It's designed to annoy, which you haven't done a good job of denying with your 'well, if they're dum enough' or 'unless they're a moron' type comments. Stop acting the pratt, and stop wasting my time.

    wasting ur time?? I though I just did work for u since u are on a crusaide about sigs?? but since, as i said before, nothing will be done about the mods sigs (a subject which you conviniatly avoided)..............:rolleyes:

    Yes, I could have an eight line signature (with 720 characters), but I went for a 3 line one (518+0+22=540 characters). That it might display with more than 90 characters per line is purely dependant on your OS and browser settings.

    This part of your sig breaks the rules. People in glass houses....

    I think it's time for me to switch off signatures, although TomToms sure is funny.
