@pwsincd bookmarks like the switchbru ones that are easy to access without dampening the forum-y vibe

kind of subtle but we do have this "Links" drop down:

I love the addition but it would be cool to see it on switchbru

Just noticed that switchbru has a timer now, that's cool!

Yes! I just added that. Let me know how they both go, I've already noticed if you visit both sites you'll mess up one of the two timers (since they don't really keep track, just each independently count down from 20 min).
Technically we could make it smarter and try to guess about the actual session, using this info. This would be a server side endpoint that counts how many of those "every second" requests have been made so far, and when it hits 600, it will close.

@VGMoose as a switchbru user, thank you so much.

Already got some feedback from the Switchbru user survey:
Why is there a 20 minute timer on the homepage? Is it when it automatically kicks me out when it hits zero?
I mean, the answer is yes, but this is explained on the landing page too. Changed the wording a little to make it more clear.

Not to be a pain, of course the admins have done a great job with the timer but would it be possible to have it appear in one corner sorta like FPS in games?
A bit like this:

Do you mean over other websites? It's not possible unfortunately. Depending on the site, it may be possible to display it within an iframe, but not all sites support this.
