Hi, I am new to Kbin like many, but I have a few questions on usage. So far I’ve liked it, but I keep getting logged out after a bit of inactivity and it makes me enter my credentials when I decide to comment. Is there a way to make it keep me logged in? I was very used to having reddit be basically perpetually logged in and being able to interact easily without constantly having to enter my credentials.

Second, when I click on links from the various posts, it doesn’t open a new tab, and I end up closing the tab when done, and I don’t have a tab to return to my Kbin browsing. Is there a setting for all new links to be opened in a new tab? This was also functionality I used with reddit, although I don’t know if that was related to RES or reddit itself.

Lastly, speaking of the links, is there a way to make the link on the main page open the actual link to the external source instead of opening the post and comments? I feel like I am having to do extra clicks just to get to the content posted. I am used to viewing the content first, then going to the comments later if I choose to.

Thanks for any info and sorry if any of this has been asked before!

    well this is just a personal habit, but when I want to open something on a new tab I just click the link with the mousewheel

    click on the thumbnail, just like in Reddit

      Sadly that doesn’t seem to work for me, it just loads the Kbin post/comments then I have to click the link from there.

      And as for the mousewheel click, yeah that’s something I guess I’ll have to retrain myself for.
