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.
