Forum forgets me!

I have a few of the forums bookmarked that I like to open as tabs, but fairly often, I'll be not logged in on the second one. Is this some kind of record locking problem with two pages trying to access my profile at the same time?

I've also had it happen while opening topics as tabs.

I've never had this problem.  I use Firefox 3.6 currently, but I've opened a half dozen pages in tabs on IE8 also, along with Firefox 3.5.  What do you use, DE?

I can't reproduce this problem. If you've selected "remember me" when first logging in, that cookie is available to any tab in your browser.

If you refresh the second tab, does it log you in?

After waiting an unusually long time for this to happen, I can tell you that the answer is... I don't know, because I forget to do that.

But I did follow a link from the second (logged out) page, and I was still logged out in the new tab, if that helps.
