Easily explained - the cookies that are set when you log in (and keep you logged in) are set to expire after 1 week. So if you log in on a Wednesday, you'll need to log back in next Wednesday, and so on...

I HATE that! Even on my phone! I keep meaning to ask why there isn't a "Remember Me" box to check at sign in, and I haven't gotten around to it yet. (That, and i hadn't really decided yet *where* would be the best place to ask).

Yeah! It's so unfair. Why do they make me have to click another button and then I have to click yet another since after I log in it takes me to my user space rather than the front page. It's just so much extra work!

I figured it had to be something to do with the cookie, but why do they only last a week now?

Ah, we've gone organic and preservative-free smiley - biggrin

One of the few things I used to like about IE and don't like about Firefox is that IE keeps cookies as individual text files in a cookie folder (or used to, I haven't looked for ages), and you could actually see (and maybe change?) the expiry date. Firefox mashes everything together in gibberish that only Firefox understands.

And Firefox's spellchecker *still* doesn't recognise the word 'Firefox' smiley - rofl

Or 'spellchecker'.

By the way, I think the server had a little brainfart just then for about five minutes. Every time I clicked on a conversation link I got the 'unknown error' message.

If you've got the 'Web Developer' extension, you can edit cookies in Firefox... There are probably other extension you can use too.
