Sometimes if the forum has been open for a long time. I go to refresh a thread I've been reading/adding to, then Transformice stops working. I don't know if this is just my computer or what...

So you're using the official standalone to view the forums while playing the game, the forum times out and you refresh the thread/forums, but in doing so the standalone stops working?

How exactly does it stop working? Are you just being disconnected or does the standalone crash?
