It's pretty clear something has changed here.... one or two of us may be wacky, but when you reach 5 or 6 or more, it moves from wacky to something fishy...

@Michael or @grsbanks - Has something changed intentionally?
Nothing that I've done.

Could it be something to do with an automatic update of Chrome?

I'm on my third or fourth login today.
Each time I go away and come back, login time.

I don't see anything wrong with the cookies phpBB sends. They're persistent with a lifespan of 1 year. I can login in Chrome on my Mac (latest versions of Chrome and the OS) and then quit and restart the browser, and I'm still logged in.

If people keep having to login, it would appear that their browsers are tossing their cookies.

Nice find Mark, worked for me too.

Using IE11 on Win-7 Pro (x64).

Thanks for sharing a real useful tip (which I may use for other sites too).

Makes sense, I'll try tomorrow at work.
Didn't notice at home since I use the extension HTTPS Everywhere.

Thank you.
