Has anyone else had problems with having to log in everytime one wants to post?

Yes I've had problems
The only way I found that resolves it is, when you log in with your user name and password, click the box log me in automatically too
Good luck

It's started again, now it's worse than ever. I log in, I click on Board Index, I'm logged out. I log in and am returned to the main index, I click on a topic, I'm logged out. I log in, I'm returned to that topic. I click to make a post, I'm logged out. I log in, I'm returned to the 'Post a reply' page, I make the post, I click on 'submit', I'm logged out. I log in, and I'm returned to a blank 'Post a reply' page so I've lost the post (actually I've had the nous to save it so it's not the end of the world), I remake the post and press 'submit', Bingo, the post is there, but I've made a mistake, open the post to edit it, press 'submit', I'm logged out.....

Well we all are Pete!

I have had problems last year, then computer problems...I did contact Admin and he said delete all board cookies from the website.
Bottom of the page you can see it.
I did that, still had problems, but I just put log in automatically now but copy anything I type first in case it doesn't go.
Not had time to contact Admin again about it myself.

Yeah I was yeah!

"Thankfully it seems to be in the past now for which i'm most grateful for."

First port of call with any issue of this nature should always be to click the "Delete all board cookies" link at the bottom right corner of the page.

The site uses SSL for security throughout and certificates need renewing regularly. At last renewal, I moved from standard SSL to Cloudflare, which helps speed and improves security, and may have invalidated old cookies for some users. Clicking the link should resolve this.
