Hyperlobby disconnecting?

Hi all,

Is there a way to prevent hyperlobby from disconnecting my connection after being away for 15 mins? I would like to stay connected in lobby. Thank you for the help.

Not to my knowledge.
Type a full-stop in the chat area (".") and hit enter and that will give you another period of time preventing you from been kicked. No one will see the full-stop in chat and is featured for this purpose.

Thank you for replying Gunny.

Do I just type a period without the quotes?

Thanks Grunny,

To make sure. I type /. correct?

By the way is there a way to disable the auto away function so that HL doesn't put me on AWAY? Thanks again.

Nope that is not correct.
Example is between the quotation marks ---> " . "
The reason for this is because people used to type a full stop to prevent them from been booted while waiting for Vef and other competition games.
Since the full stop was the most unobtrusive caricature Jiri found that the chat was been filled up with fullstops so he just made a full stop posted alone un viewable to everyone apart from the poster.
The user cant disable or adjust the auto away at HL sorry.

Hi Gunny,

Thanks again for the prompt reply. You did mention to type just the period "." in the chat area.

However when I type just the period. I can see in the chat area (not sure if other's see it) that I typed a period.

Am I the only one who can see this? It looks a bit silly when I type several periods hehe. Thanks again for the help I appreciate it.

Yes you are the only one to see it as I said above. Wink
