Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but I am.
I don't have my browser remember the log in info for various reasons, but once I log in I shouldn't have to log back in until I either log out or I close the browser.
I do neither of these, yet I randomly have to log in again. There's no obvious pattern, rhyme, or reason. This is a recent occurence (first experienced today). Anyone else getting this?

Re:Cookies Issue?
i had similar issues with this and other forums type sites
and then i switched to firefox
much better handling of cookies, and passwords, etc
you could configure it to ask upon cookie, from whatever site
and u could tell it to keep the cookie from this site, until browser closed
nothing sucks more than writing the brilliant post, only to lose it to cookie issue
especially when trying to go back, and refresh POST DATA, and then browser crash
...
so yea, i just switched to firefox and havent looked back since
only reason i ever fire up IE is for one of my credit cards
because it somehow recognizes my browse as Netscape v2.0 (boggle)

Because it is netscapes engine. Check out the vast similarities between it and the late Navigators.

Re:Cookies Issue?
yeah, i've been using firefox since... well, since before it was called firefox. that's not the issue. hasn't happened to me at home, so i'm going to assume it's a wonky work "security" bugfeature.

netscapes engine is mozilla
firefox's engine is mozilla
bank site says i have netscape 2.0
my firefox version is 1.0.4
1.0.4 is based on mozilla 5.0
and what, netscape 10 or something is out? 9?
i understand the common engine, just didnt get how the bank's server would see 2.0
maybe someone else understands better

It probably uses a really naive script to test. Instead of parsing testingthe functions that are only available in certain browsers (like, document.all or document.getElementbyid) they probably parse the user agent. Firefox comes up as:[code:1]Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4[/code:1]
The site can tell it's a Mozilla base (well, Gecko is more accurately the engine, but whatever), but it obviously hasn't been set to do anything for 5.0. My guess is it simply defaults to 2.0, since it doesn't know what to do with that user agent string.
