Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Minor bug concerning timed log-outs

FatDragon   May 7th, 2011 8:21p.m.

I've experienced this situation a few times now:

I'm studying on Skritter, and everything's fine, but then I click on a magnifying glass and all I get is information, none of the adding buttons and none of the "parts I'm studying" section. If I leave the study page, Skritter tells me to log in, and then everything's normal again.

Presumably I'm being logged out based on the length of time since my last log-in mid-session when this happens. My first question is: does my study in this state still get seen, or am I just phantom studying while I'm logged out. My other question or request is: can we get this altered so that as long as you're logged in when you go to a certain page Skritter treats your account as fully logged-in?

I guess it's just a minor inconvenience when it happens, not a really big deal, but I feel like it's worth asking about anyway.

Basically everything not sent through Flash no longer goes through when you've logged out. That means everything you practice gets saved, though. So yes, you're sort of in a phantom state, practice wise. But as soon as you leave the page you'll need to log in again to do anything else.

I think I'll try having the cookie expire time automatically extend when you log in. That way instead of expiring two weeks after you logged in, it will expire two weeks after the last time you were on the site. It will go on my to do list.
