Kicked out by link in spice milling - salt

I was grinding allspice into salt, after it was done there was a link that went to a 'webpage' called where to get salt, so I had been kicked out of the game. I've gone back in, repeated grinding salt and the link isn't there now. Pretty sure I didn't imagine the whole thing though!

  • Hi Beryl

    Was this the first time you made salt? I believe you looked up the salt page from the notification of discovery of a new item. It links here, and should have been in a new window:

    alpha.glitch.com/items/207/

    That page links to:

    wherecanigetsalt.com/

    Once you discovered that new item, you don't see the dialog for the item like you did the first time. Losing connection with the game may have been a coincidence at first glance.

  • No it wasn't the first time but you are right about where I found the link. And I think these 2 links did come up in a new window, but the new window is maximised and entirely covers the first window so it looks as if it has taken its place. If I click on the Firefox icon at the bottom bar in the browser, it shows that there are 2 windows. But at the time it seemed as if it had just closed it. Is it possible to set a size for new windows so they don't come up at the full size of the browser window? I have my FF options set to 'open new windows in a new tab instead' as I don't like having dozens of windows open so that probably affects this as well.

  • By the way I think I've seen the same behaviour in other places - going to skills or the encyclopedia and then ending up with 2 sessions of the game open because I thought I'd been kicked out.
