Ah, you got logged out in between. I am guessing that is because you don't accept cookies.

If you use the "remember me" check mark when you log on, your device will be recognized for 21 days.
If you don't set it, your session is limited to 6 hrs after that you have to log on again. This wouldn't be an issue with the normal posting, because people usually don't stay here that long. But knuffel takes quite a while to play. So you might run into that timeout.

I always click the remember me button and I was only on for that one game and checking the latest posts at that point so nowhere near 6 hours! It happened every time I tried to submit the score over the last few days...

Anyway, I enjoy the game and despite wanting the bragging rights I'm not worried either way!! Great that you maintain this site for us all and add these crazy distractions too!

I'm using Safari and cookies are allowed on the sites I visit, and I visit PTO a lot!!!
I'll do a bit of an experiment and will play one game noting the time it takes and whether I'm logged in at the end....

Hangman:
- every hangman game can only be played once. So, if you win one, create two for the others to play...
- To get points you can create one (5), win one (15), someone looses your game (5).
- you can also loose points (loose a game -1), wrong letters (-1).

They are collected in the high score table.

Back to Knuffel.
I played as testuser2 to figure out if it is a setting that admins have and you guys don't. But I was able to post the score without getting kicked out.
So I am guessing it might be some setting on your end @Brebis ?
Can you please confirm that you have this:

or this:

set? It depends on your version of safari.

Thanks!
