I keep randomly logging off

Ok, recently, I checked my inbox to see that I received about 10 reply notifications to the same topic, even though it says I only get another one when i visit the forum. Paranoid that someone else was using my account, I quickly changed my password.

Ever since then, my account keeps randomly logging out! Even while i'm surfing the forum, i'll click on a link and it turns out it has randomly signed me off. Before you asked, I HAVE clicked on "remember me", but even if I didn't that doesn't explain why it is logging me off whilst i'm surfing the forum itself!

Does anyone have any explanation? This has only started happening when I changed my password.

BTW, i'm using firefox.

EDIT: It's happened again just now. I'm starting to think changing my password has meesed up Firefox's cookies...
 
How exactly do I do that? I've never had to do this before.

Also, won't this effect every other forum/site I belong to? Won't I have to re-login to those?
 
I had the same problem as well but was able to get rid of it. I also use Firefox and I think that's what's causing your problem.
 
Ok, I cleared my cookies, logged out (which it then said "all cookies deleted" or something) and re-logged back in. No problems so far. If I have no more problems through this day i'll let ya know! ^_^

Thanks for the help!
