Page details expired

I really don't like this update... On top of having a dice pin to enter, I have a long username, a long email address, and a long password. Unless I flawlessly type it in instantly, I have to refresh the page and try again... and sometimes I can't type it in in time still...

What is the point of this update? If its goal is to stop scripters, how does it help? scripts are instantaneous and that would defeat the purpose of a timeout for login...

please re-enter details. page had expired.

I use ff when I am at home, but when I am at school, firefox is banned.


Why is this update in place? I don't see the point? Can an admin clarify this please?

because there is an auto-ban script in place for 'hacked' or scripted logins not using the actual page, and a part of what it uses is the time... so - if you left a page up too long, and logged in, you'd be banned.....i think having to reload is better than banned :)

Wouldnt a script load the page and login each time? it would be stupid for someone to make a script that waits to login.
