Are you sure you want to logout?

Gordon

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?

Beck Amerdam

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...

Gordon

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

Sarky

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

flyz

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

ecksor

Where's your sense of adventure?

Beck Amerdam

Here.

ecksor

That doesn't strike me as a fun adventure.

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

TomTom

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

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,

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...

• For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size. No animated images are allowed.

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

azezil

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

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.

Originally posted by Snowball

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

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.

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

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?

Cloud

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

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"??

Snowball

and i dont understand why the hell i cant have it there, so ui click on it once, big ****ing deal, u'll never click on it again (unless ur some kinda moron)

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

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

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.

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.

Yes, Cloud edited the rules afterwards. So what? I already explained that arguing the 'letter of the law' doesn't get you anywhere.

I don't understand the first thing you wrote there. I don't respond well to shopping lists of signatures, but I do check individual cases if someone makes a complaint. A few complaints about annoying links were made, and I see no reason why boards.ie should publish your misleading link. It serves no good purpose and it annoys other users.

yeahey i made a list!! ^_^

I still think you should get your own house in order first. What do you mean by you "posed" me.

Cloud, how should the 90 character limit be interpreted? Does is include code e.g. [B] [/B] or text only? How should character returns and blank space be treated?

you can't have both text and images.

Can this be modified to, say, allow X characters + one 32x32 *.gif (within the same height as the text)?

Geesh,

I've never clicked on the logout button by accident. However what's annoying is it stays a logout button after you've logged out, and won't turn back into a login button. The only way to log back in is to go to www.boards.ie again, hit refresh to get the login fields, then wait for it to reload the page, redirect you to the vbulletin page, then if you want to go back to the boards.ie frontpage, type in boards.ie again and hit refresh again. *Sigh*

lol, if u botherd ur ass to check the sigs on the post, you would see that the all violate the rules.. nm though. its clear that its "one rule for mods and another for users".

If I bothered to check, yes. I didn't. What's more, I won't. If you want to feel picked upon or think that it's all unfair, then fine. I told you you were free to complain, and you were. Complaint noted. I dislike shopping lists, they smack of being a busybody or sour grapes rather than a genuine complaint.

The fact is that you are a muppet and you had a muppety signature. The muppetry of the signature is in no doubt in my opinion, and after this thread your muppetry is more than clear. What anyone else has in their signature is irrelevant to those facts.

I didnt change your tagline but I've changed it back because you are (mostly) being civil.

Lets me explain my whole idea about rules for just about *anything* here with the aid of a simple diagram and small words...

ok, imagine this line runs from 1 ("acceptible") to 4 ("completely unacceptible"). It could be posts, sigs, avatars, whatever.
Now listen closely cos I'm gonna give away one of DeV's little admining secrets here...

1.........................2.........................3.............................4

Say our rules state that you're post,sig, avatar, whatever have to be compliant with level 1 acceptiblility.

I will, typically, let things go to level 2 without fuss, or perhaps a private pm saying "careful now! "

If you hit 3 you are being pretty unacceptible and really in breach of the rules and you will get slapped back to 1 and sat on for a while by the admins.

Pop quiz: Complaining at that point that there are people still posting etc at level 2 is:

A. Ironic
B. Funneh
C. Missing the point entirely.
D. All of the above.


So, yes, there are other people who break our sig rules. Yes we look the other way and its not because they are Mods, theres plenty of people who break the sig rules and we dont edit them.
When you stepped over the "nuisance" line we slapped you back to level 1 of siggy goodness...
This isnt the first time you've blatantly gone out of line with your sig as I recall, so personally I'm letting ecksor handle it. Partly cos its amusing, but mostly because he's not as mentally stable as I am.
