A big improvement!! This morning I was able to go to my profile and click on the bowling game (Disco Bowling) and it carried me straight to the game. There was no having to have the game load, bowl the first game, and then sign in to start saving my scores and have them posted. I hope this is working for all the others who play games here on AARP. |

In Response to Re: Playing games and Saving scores.: I have found that if my highest score is visible, it will change it if I get a higher score. If not, then I have to sign in again to get the new score to post. Posted by sstanhope83 This is how it is designed , you will have to sign into your profile to save your games score. |

So you're saying Sign On - Play the Game - Sign out - Sign on again? OR Don't sign on - Play the Game - sign on?

Your login status shows in the bottom left corner of your browser window. It will be beside your name. If it says you are logged in then you can play games without logging in again and your scores will be recorded automatically. If it says "Log-in" beside your name then do so. I find that about every twelve hours you have to log in again. I have been in the process of playing a game when it becomes time to re-login. Usually when this happens I lose the score from this game. For this reason I make it a practice to re-login every morning when I first go to the AARP site. If I play again later in the afternoon I login again. |

AARP always says I'm logged in, with a "Hi, [name]" at the top of the page. But while I'm still logged into AARP, I'm no longer logged into the AARP games. More than a few times, I've been logged into the games, and several games later, I'll suddenly be logged out while I'm still playing!!! Like Sparkel18, I've gotten in the habit of logging out, just so I can log in again and play games. But it certainly sounds like a design flaw to me. |

I log in to AARP every morning and log out every night. When I start playing the games, it will post my new scores until I get out of AARP and then come back later in the day to play again. Then I have to log back into the games to get my scores to update. I don't log out each time I leave the site. So, I have found that if my score is not visible on the screen and I get a higher score, I have to login again to get my new score to post when the "Game Over" page comes up even though it is showing that I am logged into my account. I would think that once you are logged in, it would stay that way but it doesn't. |

I just found that the whole format has changed -- and the worst part is that my "high score" which I've been working on for a long time has dropped off! I'm really upset about this -- yes, I DO have a life, but it's been fun and challenging to up my score for a brain-teasing game, and now my top score of 1765 has completely disappeared to be replaced by the last score I've gotten.
