I know you're joking but it's not difficult to do, just annoying.

I have somehow managed to exist on this planet for multiple decades without dying, going to prison, or becoming MovieBob. In that time, I have learned some useful things about life and people. In particular, I have held a number of jobs where it was my job to investigate massive fuck-ups and work out how they happened, and which asshole was responsible and should be fired. I learned a lot about how to tell if someone is lying or being evasive:

- Someone who is hiding something will use passive sentence construction to try to make it sound like no-one was at fault. So instead of saying "I did not record the shipment in the log" they will say "the shipment was not recorded in the log".
- Anyone who uses the phrase "I naturally assumed that..." under interrogation is the person responsible for the fuck-up, and they know it.
- Most people when recalling a memory will instinctively look up and to the right. Someone who is making something up will look up and to the left.

What wisdom have you learned that you can share with us?

Every rare now and again, you will see me reply to an OP by manually editing, but almost never. Are people ever confused that you're responding to the OP with some shitpost calling them a faggot? Not really.

Youtube links using the media embed option don't seem able to show the titles any more, can't recall if they ever did - eg: (EDIT: sorry, naked links NOT using the embed option, that is)

Not sure if this is part of recently implemented procedures, but ever since the hack I find myself being logged out regularly(once a day, or every several days) while viewing the site on PC(I do have the little check mark for staying logged in). This does not seem to happen on my phone browser for whatever reason. Both browsers are Brave. PC version is Version 0.68.132 Chromium: 76.0.3809.132 (Official Build) (64-bit), android version is Brave 1.3.2, Chromium 76.0.3809.132, if any of that matters whatsoever.

Not really meant to be a complain, as it's very little inconvenience, just something new I noticed that may be of interest.

When visiting the site on PC, I seem to be getting logged off daily, despite the fact that I have the 'stay logged on' option checked. I'm using Brave Browser Version 1.1.21 Chromium: 79.0.3945.79 (Official Build) (64-bit). This issue does not happen with the site on other platforms such as my phone(also running Brave), and other sites I use on my PC aren't getting auto logged off like this site is.

It has been occurring since approximately the time the site breach announcement happened. I reported it(as quoted above), and you advised waiting a few weeks to see if the problem resolved itself since you were working on a lot of stuff behind the scenes. It's not a huge deal, just figured I'd mention it again in case there's some obvious resolution I'm overlooking.

Does it happen with other browsers like Chrome or Firefox? If not, it may be something else in your Brave config.

BTW Nool, THANK YOU for fixing post reaction links!

What extensions are you running?

This is probably obvious, but you're not using Tor or a private window, are you? Those will clear your sessions by design when you exit out of them (to prevent tracking).

It doesn't happen on my phone(Brave), but I'll log in with Firefox and IE on my PC and see what happens after a day or two.

Crypto Wallets, WebTorrent(which I just turned off since I use qBitTorrent anyway), Hangouts, Widevine. I don't believe I manually added any of these, they've probably been there automatically since I started using Brave. I've combed through the Brave settings tab and don't see anything that looks like it would be doing the logout thing. Brave shields are up, but cookies are allowed.

qBitTorrent does not support WebTorrent, as far as I know.

WebTorrent is an addition to BitTorrent that supports browsers better through WebRTC.

That happens to me as well, also started after the breach. Only seems to occur when I switch IPs or close the brower though so I assumed it was intentional.

Also doesn't happen with my phone even though I'm using PIA.

I'm in Brave, Version 1.1.22 Chromium: 79.0.3945.79 64 bit, got Ublock Origin, Ghostery, and 4 twitch extensions because I'm a boomer and find that I just can't seem to get everything working.

I don't know what's wrong with the sessions and I can't fix it. They've never been stable and this issue has persisted across 2 different forum software suites. I don't have any issues so I am forced to assume that it is an issue with your network. I probably did force revalidation of session keys if you log in with a new IP to prevent a replication of the last hack, but my IP changes a dozen times a day and I never get forced to sign back in.

very small thing: I'm seeing "Achievement" pop up as a possible rating, but I am not allowed to give it. I think this just started happening.

There was just a forum update the other day (I know because it went down and there was a message saying it was being upgraded). I think this has been happening since then.

It seems to happen regularly after forum upgrades until Null goes back and re-fixes it. For a while, after the major version update, those reacts could actually be given by people who shouldn't have them. Now they just show up, but trying to give one says you don't have permission to do that.

(The reacts that are only supposed to be usable by contributors: Achievement, Semper Fidelis, Deviant, DRINK!)
