[Possible Bug] Unwarranted Log Out and Server Swap

CaptainWednesday··2 votes·984 views

I was typing a post (unfortunately a lengthy one) and when I posted it, I was logged out, moved to the EUW West Community Beta Site, and my post was nowhere to be found.

This is not the first time this has happened either.

Is anyone else running into this?

Typical sequence:

  1. Logged into the Community Beta (I log into NA).
  2. Sometime afterward, you are moved to a different server (I happened to moved to EUW).
  3. You are logged out from your original server.

That sounds like a terrible experience!

Mind if I ask you a couple questions?

While you were on the Community Beta site, did you happen to visit a different LoL site on a different tab (perhaps an EUW site?)

Do you notice a particular page that switches you over or is it sporadic?

Now that you mention switching tabs, I did visit the EUW site to grab the link for the Wrenchman's Toolbox - Errors and Solution topic. After going to that site, I could not finish my reply post to a separate topic on the NA CB site. I had to refresh the page and relog.

Is this intentional?

By design, the PVP.net bar is universal between all sites, and by default will carry state between the web apps. We'll look into seeing what we can do to isolate these kind of situations!

While you're looking into the issue, here's a related [Possible Bug or Missing Feature]. (I'm replying here because it may involve similar technology):

#####On GD:

  • Write post or reply
  • Click link or close tab
  • Hit 'back' or re-open tab
  • Observe that the content you had written still exists.

#####On the CB:

  • Write post or reply
  • Click link or close tab
  • Hit 'back' or re-open tab
  • Observe that your content has been erased.

I've lost many a post or comment this way :(

I imagine that this is in-browser functionality, but it is obviously based on the way the site is coded.
