All other sites seem fine, but whenever I bring up these here forums, I have to sign in manually, even if I check the "stay connected in perpetuity" box. WTF?

For the record, I've been using Chrome for about a year and a half, and I haven't been experiencing this issue.

Except at work, but I'm pretty sure that's my IT people trying to tell me something.

For me it's spotty and browser-independent. I think it's related to the CAPTCHA issue that was coming up earlier - I suspect there's some nasty spammer or attacker trying to brute-force login to the forum (possibly trying to guess peoples' passwords) and that's clogging up the session table. Or something.

Infrequent and browser-independent for me too, for whatever that's worth.

Never a problem on Firefox. But I feel better that others suffer as well. Thanks :roll:
