Cookie not working

It might be a problem with my computer, but I was wondering if no one else has had this problem lately:
When I'm on my home computer, I always select "Remain logged on from this computer," or whatever the option is called, but lately, it's been logging me out between sessions. Is this because of maintenance on the site, or do I need to check my Firefox settings?

I don't have that problem. If it's a problem with Firefox, you'll probably have to look at Settings -> Privacy -> Cookies -> Keep until; and ... -> Exceptions.
That said, sometimes my autologin cookie(s) here get killed or something, but it doesn't happen very often.

I have experienced the same thing, the past few days. I have IE7 at home and IE6 (!!? WTF? I just noticed this -- no wonder the flash thingy on our corporate website always gives me a message about upgrading my browser) at work.
Actually I can't remember if I've seen the cookie issue at home -- maybe it was only here (at work). I've adjusted my cookie settings here, will see if it changes.

My work computer does that all the time - but my home one never does. I assumed it was the Email Nazis' way of telling me to get back to work.

I lost a bet with Spud over the same issue at my own job. Had to give him a beer in Spokane.

I am not aware of any recent changes on this end.

I assumed the same thing. Still do, in fact, as after adding sf.net to my list of "always accept cookies" it still didn't work this morning.
