Hello,
I am wondering why it is that, when I am already logged in, I have to keep logging back in, say for example when I post a reply to a post. I have been away for a while, and I wonderd if this is a new "thing", or a site malfunction?

Do you have the " Remember Me " box checked when you login?

No, I didn't..but I thought that just kept you logged in when you closed and re-opened your browser (places cookie on hard drive). I would think that when you are already logged in, you would stay logged in throughout the session, for example when you are replying to a post, which I was. I didn't lose the data contained in my reply, but I would have to log in again in order to proceed, even though I was already logged in when I typed the replies.

Scott,
Before I posted he last reply, I logged out and logged back in again, this time checking the "remember me" box; and I was not prompted to log in again. So, it appears that was in fact the reason. Thanks!

How did you think it remembers you the next time you come in?
You dont think computers are human, yet?

While you were gone for a while, there was a site upgrade, and immediately after, I had a hard time keeping logged in. Turns out the upgrade konked out the "keep me logged in" preference, but once I checked it again, problem solved.
It's a feature, not a bug. ;)

As I said, I knew the "remember me" feature logged me in when I would return to the site (after leaving the site), which it still does. But I didn't think NOT having the box checked would mean I would have to keep logging in repeatedly within a session, when I have not left the site, as in when replying to a post. In fact, that still doesn't seem right to me.
