It has started logging me out once more after I had the problem go away. It’s not a time out either. I posted to a thread, went to look up another within a minute and got logged out.

I would add that with me the logging off only occurs with Firefox- there is no problem with Internet Explorer.

Now we’re getting somewhere – it does appear to be a browser issue.

Any more reports from the field? I use Chrome mostly and I am rarely logged out.

Happened to me like 4 times this morning–and it’s never happened before. Firefox here too.

Hmm. Why just Firefox? Any experts here?

For whatever it’s worth, my firefox just upgraded itself–never had the problem with any other versions. Maybe it’s a cookie thing?
