Axel Wers Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We had in 3.1.x feature named something like Reset login key. It was removed. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Matt? bfarber? Why this was removed? It's not good, now I am still logged in on my PC when I logged in and then logged out from ANOTHER PC. For security reasons this is not good.

Management Matt Posted September 4, 2011 Management Share Posted September 4, 2011 But another would consider it a bug - and indeed have posted it as such. "I logged out of my work computer and I was logged out at home too!". Also - this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 "I logged out of my work computer and I was logged out at home too!". Yes, it's logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis P Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yes, it's logical. Nope. I log in at college quite regularly, and I wouldn't appreciate having to login on my 2 home computers after logging out at college. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 When you logged out, then are you offline, or online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis P Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 When you logged out, then are you offline, or online? I'm offline, but that is irrelevant whether you're logged in or not. Think of it the other way then - you are just about to go out, so go onto your mobile device. You've logged out on your PC, but have limited bandwidth on your mobile. Do you really want to have to go to the login page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Wers Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 but have limited bandwidth on your mobile. Do you really want to have to go to the login page? Ten years ago when I was running dial-up, it could be possible. Not now :) Few kilobytes doesn't matter. Main reason is when someone will forget log out (happens often). This is bad issue.

Axel Wers Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 I said on your mobile - not on your computer. :wink: I don't know what is situation in your country with mobile internet, but here is Slovakia I generally don't know any problems with bandwidth :unsure: At least people said so.

Pretty much all mobile internet in the UK is limited at either 250MB, 500MB or 1GB, and it's not the fastest in quite large chunks of the country. Every page load impacts upon that. :wink: Still, I don't see what the problem is here. If you leave a computer and don't want it remaining logged in, log it out. If you don't care about being logged in, then don't log out. I bet the vast majority of people would call it a bug if this was the other way around.

I bet the vast majority of people would call it a bug if this was the other way around. OK little example: You have house and go away. You lock doors, you are calm, house is secured. But you leave window open (simply you forgot). Thief don't need keys to your doors, he can use window. Lot of people are irresponsible, they can forgot log out from computer and someone other can compromise their account and privacy. That's all. I have had issue with this on my board few times. I know what I am saying. And when will happen again, they will be angry why I am not able secure board. I am tired from irresponsible people.

Lewis P Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 And price? Here, for example Orange 2 GB / 9,95€ per month Vodafone UK 500 MB / £5.00 per month OK little example: You have house and go away. You lock doors, you are calm, house is secured. But you leave window open (simply you forgot). Thief don't need keys to your doors, he can use window. Honestly - I'd be less worried about the security of my forum account compared to the possessions in my home. ;) Anyway - It's just my opinion. I'm all for security, but sometimes you have to put it down to common sense of the users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I was going to say if someone broke into your home, your online forum account should be the last of your worries... lol and let's not get started on phone prices.... $30.00 here for 2gb.... of data. so take your 5 and 10 plans and be happy. Thankfully I'm on an older unlimited plan for the same 30.00. With that said though, I have never come close to 2gb and I use it more than most.

Hard to understand? Every software works in this way. When I log out, then I am logged out completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
