Oculus can create virtual reality for the masses but they can't fix their own damned forum?

Current Issues:
1. Frequent logouts, often while typing responses.
2. Timezone setting on User Control Panel page constantly resets. Seems more frequent than logouts.
3. Login page does not allow browser to remember username/password. This leads to weaker passwords and more chances of passwords being seen when entered in public places on mobile.

Number 1 would be less of an issue if number 3 was fixed.

I'll try to bug the engineering team again on Monday. I agree, this is unacceptable.

Can you guys provide some details, like the browser you are using, OS? Thanks.

Logouts bug present for months now.
Clicking on "login" logs in automatically.
Not an Oculus hater, but not a fan anymore. Still lots of respect for the team-Carmack, Abrash. Oculus is driven by big corporation principles now. That brings painful effects already, more to come in the future. This is not the Oculus I once cheered for.

Seemingly random kick out to login. Has happened when browsing, typing, watching youtube link, or when page is left idle. Doesn't happen every session.

I have been using Chrome on Windows 8.1 and Safari on iOS.

I just did a test in IE and Firefox on Windows 8.1 and was able to reproduce #2 in both.

I also noticed a very cool thing that IE and Firefox are doing now (and I hope WebKit/Safari/Chrome does soon). Firefox and IE have recognized that websites that do not allow storing of usernames and passwords are inherently insecure; so they started ignoring the "autocomplete=off" attribute.

For anyone interested in the changelog from Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=956906

So, while the the Oculus login page should still remove this attribute, at least browsers are starting to ignore it anyway.
