What's with this new timeout?

Everytime I leave my computer for a bit, when I come back, it's logged out. What's that for?
 
It happenned to me today. When you click the "Reply" button, type a reply,and try submitting the message after keeping it stale for some time, its displaying an invalid thread specified error message but the session dosen't expire.

If you click the Back button of your browser and once again click "Reply" the post is getting submitted.
 
It only seems to happen if you are looking at a thread rather than a forum.
 
they must have messed it up during maintenance......
 
Yep, getting signed out randomly is annoying, cos I have have to constantly sign in again. O.o
 
Weird. Try clearing your cookies, I think the software upgrade might have made a change in the cookie settings and it might be getting confused.
 
I always have my cookies cleared everytime I close Firefox. But I keep getting signed out so I don't think it is a cookie problem (for me).

I cleared my cookies but it happened again.

Should I "upgrade" my browser per the message on the Home page, and if so, why?

No it's part of an anarchic tecky conspiracy to get us all to stop using internet explorer.
 
None of this is happening to me. The internet at work has stopped working completely, and there's a hole in my pocket, which is probably connected to this in some way.
It needs sorting
