• Auto log out bug?

  Posted by Pha. Mordel 124 from on 2012-12-21 20:23:12

  I've found some strange behavior:

  If I have gained access to the challenges in level N but have not gained access to the challenges in level N+1, then, when I succesfully solve a challenge in level N that I have not previously solved, I get redirected to the home page as usual, but I'm logged out when I get there.

  This has been happening to me since level 1, and is still happening at level 5, so it's not just a problem with a single level.

  Also, all of the conditions I mentioned are neccessary. If I have access to level N, but not N+1 but have solved a level N challenge before, then I won't experience the auto-logout bug when I solve it again. Likewise, if I solve a challenge in level N-1 (<-- minus not plus now) then I won't get auto logged out even if it's a challenge I had never solved previously.

  Try unchecking the "ip" value at login -- the default is checked.

  Ok, so I just did this. (It took me a while cause the challenges are getting harder and the bug only appears when I'm solving previously unsolved challenges at my highest available level)

  Your fix works. When I uncheck the box when logging in, I don't get automatically logged out anymore.

  Still, I'm not sure why this changes anything. My IP address hasn't changed in ages (I have a record of what it's been going back months, and it's still the same now) so I don't see why binding my session to a particular IP would cause this... especially when it's only happening in such specialized circumstances. Anyway, at least I know how to prevent it now. Thanks for the tip. :)

    Found a bug and fixed it. Should work now (hopefully).

      Yep, that seems to have fixed it. :)
