Okay, so I browse VT almost always on my phone (using Google Chrome Incognito) and have had this problem since the new mobile theme was implemented. Now I don't use the mobile theme as I prefer the desktop version, but now if I log in on the desktop version (on my phone) I get logged out every time I click a link/post/whatever, unless I select the "remember me" option. This certainly didnt happen in the past and although its an easy fix on my side, its was a bit annoying.

Well...if you're using incognito mode and you close the window, it'll never save; that's kind of the point of Incognito. It deletes cookies after you close it. This should have nothing to do with the mobile theme - that's just like any other theme, it doesn't change any settings on your end.

Always click the "remember me" button if you don't want to be logged out after 30 minutes of inactivity. But if you're on incognito and close the window, it won't matter since it'll delete all your browsing information anyway

you know I had the problem when I used internet explorer, but when I use the site on firefox I have not had the problem (other then when I am in active for too long)

I don't think you understand, I'm not closing any windows, just clicking on a link like if I were to click on Virtual Teen HQ from this thread then I would be logged out. Basically every time I load a new page on VT without ever leaving the site I am logged off.

Hmm that is very strange, and this has happened to me as well but on another website. Perhaps try clearing cookies and then logging in again? The only thing I can think of.

We haven't changed anything site-wise that would causing this. The implementation of a new theme has nothing to do with it, plus, you said you aren't using it anyway.

My guess is it's something on your end, I'd try the old "clear cache/cookies/etc" and see if it still happens.
