Re: Why such a short automatic log out on here?

I've noticed the same thing when I'm on my MacBook... logged out in less time than it take my screen saver to come on.

But if is load up boot-camp (which I do often since that's where STO is hiding) I rarely get logged out of the site at all. Never understood it.

It happens with me as well. I use Firefox and cleared out my cache recently. :(

Thanks Nicholas, I'll try those things. Though I'm totally with you on the anti-IE sentiments... we're a 100% Firefox family!

The shortest that you should be logged out after is 15 minutes. That's how long it takes for a user session to expire, and that's after 15 minutes of inactivity.

If you're getting logged sooner than that, I'd try clearing your browser cache and making sure you're browser is up to date. Also, if you're using IE, I'd suggest using anything else. Seriously, like a rock would be better at browsing the internet.

When you log in to the site, try saving your account details into your browser and checking 'Remember Me.'

Definitely not, Lesley. It's the same on my work machine, and on my partner's machine. So I assume it's to do with the site...

Is it possible it is not a website problem but something to do with your router or browser at home?

I know when ever I have made a post, no matter how long I have never been timed out at all.

Why such a short automatic log out on here?

June 06 2011
This may have been answered before, and apologies if it has.

I'm wondering why the website has such an incredibly short time-out feature? It almost seems as though I'm logged out after something as short as 5 minutes of inactivity.

Often, in the time it takes me to write an email or a response to a forum thread, my log-in has timed out and I can't send the email or post the response without logging back in.

The time-out period really seems to be too short, as I'm often caught out by it.

I use steam but only for "Call of Duty: Black Ops" and "Civilization 5". I don't use the steam launcher for all my games. Currently, I just use it for the games that require it.

Wow, the UI completely shows up STO. I'm not one for Free-To-Play games and I've already wrote this off as nothing more than a "5 minute try" game on my radar but to be honest that video makes it look a lot better than I ever would have guessed.

Really impressed with how nice and clean the UI was. Really Impressed.

Didn't Cryptic hire a UI guy? :S

I just got done playing this mission and I really enjoyed it! I love missions with lots of story and dialogue. I'm hoping there is a sequel coming, otherwise I'm a little sad how it ended... :(

One tiny little nit-picky issue I had was with the computer core puzzle. I took it too literally and multiplied everything by "pi" and not "3.14" (I was too lazy to go find a calculator and just put the puzzle into MatLab, lol). It caused all my answers to be be slightly different.

Doesn't really hold a candle to STO honestly. Though the UI and the contact system do look very nice.

So I'm finally getting around to playing Foundry missions and this was the first one I tried. Loved it Ali!

:pinch: SPOILER WARNING!!! :pinch:

I'm curious how you made the vortex with the floating "spirit". I sorta want to do something similar.

And on a tangent, does anyone have nay ideas on how to make a space hazard that isn't an explosion? I'm trying to recreate the "spatial anomaly" phenomenon from season 3 of Enterprise. Something that's light damage and semi-invisible. The barriers from "The Vault" are a good likeness, but I'm still too clumsy with the tools to recreate that sort of effect.

They could always replace the Atari logo with one of the old time Space Invaders blocky icons of the aliens that used to go back and forth across the screen. Last time I checked, my Atari system still worked and all the games too! Yet, I've probably been through 10 PCs since then.

Finally had the chance to sit down and play this, and I absolutely loved it!

As I said in my review in-game, the maps and the puzzles in particular are stand-outs. And even though I used a similar "zoning witout zoning" trick in my mission, I was still left in awe and wondering how you did the transition of leaving the compound and running outside to the shuttle. Amazing.

All in all, it's obvious that you must have spent a lot of time on this, and it's paid off.

Very well done!

I suggest you advertise on StarbaseUGC, Foundrymissions.com and the STO forums if you haven't already.

And if you do get negative comments about the same-sex relationship, you MUST ignore them. Don't EVER take this mission down. I wish we'd had an episode of one of the TV series that had this storyline, and I live in hope that Cryptic will produce an official mission that features a same-sex partnership so prominently as your mission does.

Well done again.
