TOPIC:

I have the settings set to remember my password etc. But like Bog Myrtle, if I navigate away (without closing Firefox) I need to log back in again. Also, sometimes when I log back in, I cant see new posts. They are there, but the orangey icons are not displaying them as new. Curiouser and curiouser!

I thought it was normal functionality to be honest, and if truth be told, I dont really mind that much.

It might be interesting for those with this behaviour to try two things:

1. Clear your cache/cookies and see if anything changes.
2. Do a test in Internet Explorer to see if the same thing happens (clicking the "remember me" box too)

Well whadaya know, I've just started to experience the same thing now. Seems to have happened in the last 2 days, both on laptop at home, and the work PC. I've just upgraded to the newest firefox (3.0.10) in both places too if that matters. Looking through my cookies for ICB, many of them seem to be set to expire at the end of the session.
Will monitor it a bit and see if I can discern the pattern.

Upgrading to 3.0.10 now to see what happens

I'm on 3.0.10 and it's behaving so far.

It asked me to log in again after I upgraded and tried to reply on this thread. I logged in (FF had filled in the login details and I checked "remember me"), closed FF, opened a new session and it logged me in automatically as usual.
