I'm 139. Don't know what I was before, but the number can't be significant because I joined three years after Wu.

*obligatory Wu's age joke: 139?! I didn't know Wu was 142! Wow, I thought people were joking around.

:P

Yeah, Achronos just confirmed, it was managed in parallel mode, so it was done in chunks, each chunk with its own lower and upper boundary.

Bummer. I used to be in the 20s - now I'm 90. :(

A side effect of the parallel import code, I'm afraid. Doing it sequentially would have taken quite a bit longer.

I'm still user id 1, though, so everything is good.

And the user ids changed because we imported all the old users accounts into our brand new Account system that all our services will share.

Nuts. I was 13 before, now I'm 54. Interestingly, HBO Junkies is 6, but Chapter Founders is 21. Of course, the Marty Army is #1.

HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE?

The companion app isn't a substitute for the entire bungie.net website.

Not yet, anyway.

Why would you ever want it to be, though?

Yet you still look so young!

I'm not an expert, but I've read that there's no way to delete accounts, they just go in to an "absent member" state after being inactive.

Yeah, I think the accounts just go inactive. Might be a backend database reason for that -- I imagine these systems are fabulously complex.

As a side note, did anyone else notice their user ID change with the launch of Bungie.next? Mine somehow jumped by 53. Weird.

No accounts are ever deleted. Indeed, bungie.next doesn't delete anything - even if you edit a forum post, bungie.next keeps a copy of the old entry. That's proven handy, btw.

Clearly forcing iOS users to login every time the browser is forced to reload the page (which can happen at any point due to how iOS manages memory) is not workable unless you're happy with a user-hostile experience for iOS users.

Companion app?

I'm a little embarrassed to be asking this, well, a lot embarrassed. Anyway, has anyone been able to log in to Bungie.net automatically? Like, get on your browser, hit Bungie.net and you're already signed in? I always have to hit the sign-in button, scroll down to Microsoft Account, and then it automatically logs me in.

On a PC this isn't an issue really (it takes 3 nanoseconds). But on my iPad/ iPhone sometimes my Microsoft account information isn't stored and I have to log in time and time again. On a touch screen this can be a little annoying.

Glad I got that one off my chest. Bring on the lazy insults, I can take it.

It doesn't fix not being able to log on automatically, but this might make it easier for you to log in with iOS:

1) Buy 1Password for your iOS devices. Or LastPass, but I use 1Password, so use that.

2) Make a keyboard shortcut (or TextExpander snippet if you're super nerdy) for your email addresses. Like "kgm" for katancik@gmail.com, for example.

Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts to make shortcuts, if you don't know already.

(Another option would be to store your B.net password in your keyboard shortcuts, if you don't want to buy an app, but I wouldn't recommend/do that.)

3)Then the next time you want to log in, open 1Password, find your B.net account and copy its password.

4?) Go to B.net, type in your shortcut, then paste in your password. Or use 1Password's browser if you don't want to open Safari or Chrome since it has a neat button that automatically puts in your login details on corresponding sites.

...that sounds like a lot of hoops/steps (yep!), but beyond setting it up, I've found this workflow to be a lot more efficient than pecking in my various passwords/reusing the same password/keeping my passwords in a .txt file.

Though, what works for me might not work for you. Or even be the best solution for you. Or something. I mean, who buys password apps am i rite only nerds lol...?

(I wish I was paid to shill 1Password. I just really like it and think it might make logging in on iOS a little bit less annoying for you)

...

but no i don't know how to automatically log into B.net on iOS.

As far as ‘logged in’ state goes, really all that's happening is the site is checking if you currently have a valid cookie and if not, you're asked to log in again. That cookie existing (or not) has no impact on cookies that may exist for third-parties, and so you being (automatically) logged out of bungie.net would have no impact on third-party login status.

While typing out a response I got what you are saying. You're saying that under the current situation you could still have an active cookie with Bungie.net but not with XBL or PSN. I understand now. Yeah no idea why it's the way it is then currently.
