I'm getting this on my phone, but not on any other machine (including my laptop). Can you check that it's not the www/no-www thing? I assume you're using bookmarks, just checking obvious things...

Sometimes systems will store a different cookie for http://www.site.com and for http://site.com. It can lead the cookies to get confused and start logging you out... at a guess, sometimes clicking on the index or a link to a specific game will cause the logout? Internally, the site should pretty much respect whether you started with www or not.

So your system only does it on restarting after Sleep Mode? Does it matter how long your laptop slept for - for instance, if you slept now for 3 minutes, would it still do it? Or only an overnight/weeklong Sleep cycle?

Does it make any difference if your computer does Sleep on its own (low battery, idle out, etc) or is chosen?

Odd.

Do you know how to pull up your cookie in that browser? Can you post the details of it (screenshot or text, whatever's easiest).

Your active cookie for the forum should start with phpbb3_mscum*. I'm not sure if multitopic has to do with the new quote code.

At a guess, I'd delete all of those for now, relogin once, and see if that fixes it. If not, you'll lose nothing except some stale cookies. :) If the wiki is giving you no trouble, you can leave those around.

Totally bizarre. Are you logging in in the meantime from a different computer? I've noticed that will sometimes (but not always) cause me to logout from my 'original' computer.
