Help
Hello,
Was playing a casual game, reached contract where my partner became declarer and I was dummy.
I decided to do quick check on my e-mail just to find a minute later that I have been forcibly logged off BBO.
No warning, no reason given, - just logged off!
Anyone else experiencing that?
Is there a reason for BBO software to do that?

It’s been doing that for over a year.
I just chalk it up to lousy understanding of ios programming. I have a list of issues.

Much longer than a year.
It is a behaviour unparalleled by any other sites that I use regularly. Yes there are others that time out but after minutes but I get warnings (or a much longer time out period).
What is additionally weird with the BBO timeouts is that sometimes they do not happen. I have left my machine on with no activity and still been logged in the next morning. That makes it so much more frustrating when I am logged out when sitting at an active table - in my case usually a bidding practice table and if I am the host with preloaded hands then I have to redo all of that to get started again.
It would be good if BBO fixed this feature.

Additionally - I have feeling that player removal for inactivity at table is inconsistent/too soon.
It used to be like 45 seconds - warning - 10 seconds - warning - 10 seconds - removal.
Now I have seen like 30 seconds - warning - 7 seconds - removal.
Procedure of inactive player removal ought to be described in site rules or FAQ, ideally with button to test it (that would make verification like a snap).

The simple solution is to a different browser for each. I recommend Firefox or Iron for more privacy.
