My account here keeps logging itself out after awhile even though I have “automatically log in every time” checked. What gives? I’m using Safari 4.0.1 on Mac. It’s pretty annoying. 
make sure you don’t have something like firefox or a script (like one from OnyX type application) clear the cookies because that is how it keeps you logged in with cookies.
Yeah, I had firefox installed. Thanks for that tip. 
I’m experiencing the same thing, informercial. Using the new Safari. It seems totally random.
Yeah same. Thought it was firefox but that isn’t it.
Only happens with the Unity forums, not other forums. :?
Also, Safari’s “top list” feature seems to mark unread posts as “read”.
Odd. The forum software currently uses cookies to track all of this and it’s surprising to read about these problems as it usually indicates a client-side problem. But given that there are multiple reports I’m of course forced to reconsider that and will look into things a bit more on our end to be safe.
FYI: there is a forum software update that’s been held up but should finally go out soon, it will change how this is all handled and hopefully wipe all these problems away. More news on that as we get closer…
Any chance this forum update includes major overhaul to the search engine? 
lol, tht does need fixing but they don’t do the updates they just install them.
Negative. Stage 1 was a hardware update earlier this spring (new, faster, more stable server). Stage 2 is an upgrade to the software (same software, newer version - mostly the same search engine with some mild tweaks). Stage 3 will be a complete forum overhaul with the help of a (by then hired) new web developer who will coordinate the forum update (including more robust search) with other core unity3d.com site updates. We’re working through things in chunks…
What about a forum in full 3D someday… moderators hunting for trolls in the alleys, while we would discuss peacefully on our virtual trampolines
hey how about we make it in unity and play through the unity3d webplayer! yeah that would be awesome!
I’m pretty sure it will come one day or another. Not necessarily a realtime 3D chat based on the multiplayer technology, which would be very heavy to manage, but a Unity webplayer that would allow to navigate through the threads in 3D. You would for example fly to the iPhone island, jump from one thread to another, send your posts using 3D smileys, etc…
OK, I need some rest tonight
wait but then the mods could be giant orks or protectors and then we the users would be like little dogs and depending on the # of posts they would be big or little.
bu don’t forget to include the feedback forum.
