Question

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but whenever i log off, then log back on, i end up on a totally different subject than what i left off of.

Answer 1

I remember i logged off, and i was on group Mathematics, then when i log back on, i end up on Chemistry..kinda weird..

Answer 2

hmmmmm never experienced that...

Answer 3

Maybe its my computer, but then again, it only happens on Openstudy..lol.

Answer 4

lol i logged out while in Feedback then logged in Mathematics =))

Answer 5

See, thats whats happening to me. I log out in a group, but when i log back in, im in a totally different group..

Answer 6

it's not "totally different group" it's always mathematics -___-

Answer 7

No, i end up in like Chemistry or Biology, weird...

Answer 8

oh hmm...maybe it's the mod's way of advertising the other groups? hmm

Answer 9

LOL

Answer 10

You're right GOODMAN, that's happened to me too.

Answer 11

Yeah, no matter what subject I logoff at, I end up at Mathematics when I log in

Answer 12

I have also never experienced such a problem. But it might be related with some connectivity loopholes. Infact I am also facing "acute" connectivity problem these days. Check mine and @Austin_Rain post , see if it helps you somewhere.

Answer 13

But yea , what @psujono has written , is very true with my case as well - "no matter what subject I logoff at, I end up at Mathematics when I log in" :-(

Answer 14

@GOODMAN that happens to me all the time, 5 different groups, specifically

Answer 15

@GOODMAN Happens with me too.

Answer 16

All the time sista:)

Answer 17

Yeah. The order you're joined to groups has nothing to do with what group you were in when you logged out. We don't store that information server-side.

Answer 18

That said, we could - it would just get really weird if you had multiple tabs open.

Answer 19

well how is it based then? i mean we dont have an "openstudy homepage" ...so it's random?

Answer 20

Yeah, I think it's whatever order the database spits out the results. Which could change based on how MongoDB organizes the index that we have on that field.

Answer 21

<---- computer engineer should understand thos etechy tems but can't lol =)))))) im such a weird computer engineer

Answer 22

Haha. Well, Computer Engineer != Computer Scientist. :P Lol.

Essentially, it's not random - but it will appear that way. There's a method to the madness.

Answer 23

hmm i kinda get it now...it's not random but has an inconsistent pattern which depends on how the indeces are organized by the MongoDB hmm..

Answer 24

Indeed!

Answer 25

Lol, that explains a few things, sometimes I log in and its in some funny group that's in my list, but I haven't viewed it in awhile.

Answer 26

Okay, that explains a lot :D Thanks for the clear up
