I have found that when I am playing games (usually for a long time like over and hour) I get kicked off the server (I'm guessing for inactivity.) This makes it hard because then my high scores don't get saved unless I remember to go and resign in right before my game is over. I find this happens when I play majong solitaire and have it in another window (I don't know if I played in the original window if this would happen). If I play it in the original window the game is too small to see. Since it can take a long time to play and win (at lease for me) it is frustrating to see all of that work not be recorded with my newest high score. I was wondering if there was any way to fix this. Also I was wondering if there was any way to make it so you could go from the high score page and open another window directly to play again without having to go through the main games page since you can go directly to playing in the same window.
Thanks,
googley.

Googley someone higher up than me may come along and answer this better than I can, but I had one idea.

Are you on your own computer? Would you be comfortable checking the box when you log in to "keep me logged in"? This should eradicate the problem I would think. Or is it that you are already doing that and its still dumping you out?

Is that different than the 'remember me' box. I do have that one checked.
Thanks for the idea.

The only way I get around this is to have two windows open, one to the forums. Then, before submitting a score, I make sure I'm still signed in (on the forums window) and then submit in the game window. Also, it helps if I can remember to refresh the game window before beginning any game, that way I know if I'm still signed in beforehand.

That is what I have been trying to do. I was just wondering if there was any other way around it as I don't always remember.

Actually, I think the issue began with the newest server, and a time-out... or a shorter timeout than we were all used to? So for the arcade to also have that timeout makes sense, imo.

I haven't been logged out yet. Make sure the remember me box is ticked, and I always open a new PC window just for the arcade games.
