Hi, I am new to Kbin like many, but I have a few questions on usage. So far I’ve liked it, but I keep getting logged out after a bit of inactivity and it makes me enter my credentials when I decide to comment. Is there a way to make it keep me logged in? I was very used to having reddit be basically perpetually logged in and being able to interact easily without constantly having to enter my credentials.
Second, when I click on links from the various posts, it doesn’t open a new tab, and I end up closing the tab when done, and I don’t have a tab to return to my Kbin browsing. Is there a setting for all new links to be opened in a new tab? This was also functionality I used with reddit, although I don’t know if that was related to RES or reddit itself.
Lastly, speaking of the links, is there a way to make the link on the main page open the actual link to the external source instead of opening the post and comments? I feel like I am having to do extra clicks just to get to the content posted. I am used to viewing the content first, then going to the comments later if I choose to.
Thanks for any info and sorry if any of this has been asked before!
You have to make sure to tick “Remember me” when you log in to your account.
Ah yes. Sadly there is not an option for this, unless someone made an extension? I’m sure they will correct this in the future.
Yeah, I’ve tried that but it eventually logs out - haven’t figured out how long it takes yet though. I’m just used to coming back to reddit even after reboots without having to relog.
Do you get logged out when using it normally, or on browser closing? Might be a browser issue with cookies not being saved between sessions.
