Were you using the same login on two machines? Potlatch uses the same token as the rest of the Rails site, rather than a JOSM-like separate auth - the SWF doesn't even know your username or password, it just has the token. So if you started a session on one machine, then one on another, the second instance would effectively log the first one out; and because the Rails site doesn't do a AJAXy periodic refresh for the user name at the top right (after all, why would it?), that wouldn't change. > - On another occasion I would have liked a short > session expiry, when out of the corner of my eye I spotted some > visitors having fun at one of our machines, and suddenly realised > they had Potlatch open... and it was NOT in play mode ;-) I explained > to them that they were just editing our database which they found > a bit hard to believe. You shouldn't have to explain, it says it on the splash screen[1]... unless you've ticked "Don't show this again", that is. ;) cheers Richard [1] localisation welcome! _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
