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!

    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.
