What do you think about the upgraded sign-in security in Xanga?
I'm fine with that you have to sign in to go to your Look and Feel. The thing that bugs me is if you refresh the subscriptions OR your private home after several minutes, you need to sign in again... and I'm the type of person who refreshes every few minutes to check if there are any new entries or comments.  Oh, and I need to warn all Xanga users: Remember to copy/save your entry somewhere before you submit it. Otherwise if you type for too long, Xanga requires you to sign in again and your entry is lost.

Seeing that people like to try and hack into Xanga alot I can understand the extra security even though it would be a pain. I'm the type of person that sometimes makes long entries that take up to 30 minutes to write, so having it where after a few minutes you have to sign in again would suck. I'll just have to remember the copy and paste method.

Oh man, serious? Yah, i should get in the habit of typing and saving my entries before submitting them...isn't it the most annoying thing in the world when the entries get erased! you're like..."noooo!!!"
 lol. But i guess they have a reason for all this extra security. I mean I would rather have to sign in a few more times then have someone hack into my site. But thanks for the warn :) |

I thought that wasn't even new...
But anyways, I think it's annoying. Just keep on retyping it over and over again. And who would hack someone's Xanga?! |

I didn't really find the look&feel to be annoying, but I'm at private/subs like a lot. Not to see if anyone updates, it's just fast to load. Like google. But now I have to sign in every time, it feels like it's not worth it anymore. It's just xanga.

I don't think that one is necessary, if it is for CLAF, that is totally acceptable.

It's really annoying. I didn't know this before so I wrote a really long entry and BOOM I have to sign in and the whole entry is lost.
I didn't bother re-writing it again.
