When I login, I always check the box to log in automatically, but it never works.

In fact, If I am not continually active, I am booted and have to log back in. So if I open a new tab to check out a link posted by a member, when I return to the forum tab, I find I have been booted, and have to log back in.

BTW, I am using MS Windows 7, and internet Explorer.

I have been booted once or twice but generally it keeps me signed in.

This is from the frequently asked questions section.

Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you login, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university computer lab, etc. If you do not see this checkbox, it means the board administrator has disabled this feature.

I do, every time. It doesn't Help.

Do you have "cookies" enabled in your browser?

Cookies are enabled. But there is an unticked box for Always allow session cookies, so I ticked it. Maybe that will help.

That seems to have done the trick.
