Here's a few bits and pieces that were done since the last monthly update:
We have plans to extend game pages to make them more useful. Including comments, ratings and so on. GOL is much more than a news site, we're a community and we have a huge database of games we're currently not doing enough with. That will change.
The Advanced Forum Search also had a minor overhaul:
Hopefully that might helping finding a specific interesting forum post or perhaps a helpful guide someone posted.
As a side effect of the forum search upgrade, I double checked the code for the article search page and found that the pagination was a bit broken. It would only ever return the first 50 titles, that was also fixed.
The News Punch roundup podcast also returned, finally! Episode 20 can be found here.
Final point: I'm looking for your feedback on what you think are some truly noteworthy events in the history of Linux gaming for our upcoming timeline page. Let me know any you think should be listed on it. Ps. Here's a tiny preview of the timeline (heavy W.I.P!!), lots to do on it to make it look better, just needed something basic to start adding to it.

Roughly since this update i constantly get logged out "overnight". I've got *.gamingonlinux.com whitelisted for cookies and alreaddy deleted cookies and localstorage, to no avail.

I'm using the standard login. I tried deleting cookies and localstorage again, removed the whitelist, closed the browser, re-added the whitelist (i'm using https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/ btw) and today i'm logged out again. To me it seems it is either triggered overnight or with a reboot. If i just close the tabs/browser and re-open i seem to stay logged in. Haven't tried rebooting explicitly, but i can't really imagine that to be the case, right?
No other site is showing this behaviour, so it also doesn't look like an issue with the addon.
Worked fine for years before and i didn't change any settings prior to the occurrence. (at least that i know of xD)
We had a problem a while ago where login didn't stick but that was solved, weird to see it come up again as we're doing nothing at all fancy. Standard login setup really.

I'm almost ashamed i haven't had that idea by myself already... Aye Captain, will do and report back ^^

OK so i was logged out again today, took a look at the cookies before and after login:
View cookie preferences.
Accept & Show Accept All & Don't show this again Direct Link

expiry dates look good, creation and accessed date are in 2038 though? O_o
Something somewhere must have wiped them, but I can't be sure on what exactly. The only time our code wipes cookies are when your session is completely expired (not logged in for 1-2 months) or you manually logout.
However, last night I did fix an issue where the session expiry didn't match cookie expiry (one was 30 days, one was 60 days - woops), they now share the same timing code parsed to the format each needs.
Still, that shouldn't have caused an issue where people are logged out after only a day, so more investigation is needed.
However, I've looked over the code and discovered something possibly stupid I've done with the way we store sessions which I THINK might actually be causing this. Will update when I've adjusted (not a security issue, just dumb).Actually that bit was fine, mmm.Last edited by Liam Dawe on 24 November 2019 at 1:06 pm UTC
