mishamigo: why is it that when i switch web pages between wire and another page, say... youtube, for example, wire logs me out by itself? this is annoying and my friends think i've logged out myself, so they log out too, probably thinking that i don't want to talk to them anymore when in reality i do, it's just wire logging me out for some strange reason. please wire, can you fix this?
mishamigo in reply to finger5: i sent a message to the technical guy of wire explaining the problem. hopefully he will be able to help. i will tell u what he says.
MrHamster: mishamigo messaged me about this; but, since I see others have the same issue I will answer here.
Wire works with cookies. Once you login, you get a "short term" cookie. As long as this cookie is still around and the information in it is still valid then you are still logged in.
After you get logged in wire gives your computer a "session" key (or number) and as long as that session as been active it stays logged in.
It appears to me that when you flip from one website or tab on your device it removes these cookies. Once the cookies are removed you are no longer logged in.
Lets get a little techy ever time you go to a website that uses cookies you send the cookies to the website every time you go from page to page or even first load the site up. So wire might still have an active session for you that is still logged in; but, if your computer doesn't send a valid session then it figures you are not logged in. NOTE: a website only has access to its own cookies.
