From time to time, people seem to be having issues staying logged in, or a particular page keeps kicking them out.
To effectively report these kinds of issues, please include the following information:
Your ISP, example: AOL Dial Up, Road Runner Cable, AT&T Bell South DSL, and so on.
Your HTTP headers for the exact page which is giving you trouble.
It should look something like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:26:19 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Or this:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:27:03 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g

If you use Firefox, install this to get header information:
http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/installation.html
Supposedly this extension does it for Chrome:
http://www.chromeextensions.org/webmaster-seo/site-information-tool/
Other browsers will have other methods for getting this information.
Posting this information will help us understand why some people are having these issues
Note however if you have a line which says "Set-Cookie" followed by sid=something, posting that exact line can allow others to impersonate you, so make sure you replace the alphanumeric ID with something like "blah blah blah" when you post your header information. See above for example.
