I've been logged out repeatedly today. I am using Firefox on WinXP, and so far as I know, haven't changed any settings lately.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No changes had been made to the board code, so I'm not sure what could be making that happen -- is it possible you were switching from buffistas.org to www.buffistas.org or vice versa?
Speaking of logging, msbelle, I've found the core of your identity problem -- PHPSESSID. That's what PHP uses to track a user's settings if you aren't using cookies. It puts it into the URL. So if someone else uses a URL with your PHPSESSID, they become you for the duration.
I don't know if there's a way around it, programmatically, other than deleting that in the code from the URL if someone posts a local link. Which'll need to be tested.

nope, it's happening while the message center is loaded in an open window. I read some messages, go back to the MC, wander off to check email or do laundry, come back, click reload on the MC, and *poof*, I'm in guest status.
I'll check it again from home, though: maybe it was a fluke yesterday.

Huh. I was logged out this morning, and I don't think I should have been. Could be something on my end, though. I'll keep an eye on it.

What is even happening?
On the message center page, just up above the maroonish bar that reads "Message Center", one of our graphics went missing for a moment, and was replaced by an X in a box. It's back, and now I can see it's the words "Message Center" in the fancy font, that is to say this: buffistas.org/images/shd_messagecenter.gif
(http and www removed so the board wouldn't to the linky thing like this: [link]

Completely off topic...
JON! Best wishes to you and FAQwife! This may require a whole new set of FAQ.

I'm 200+ posts behind in Natter, right now, and wanted to be timely. I'm very happy for you both, Jon. Cheers.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What would happen if, as list moderator, I just ignored all of the spam that comes in to the Laista list and all of the emails I get telling me I have spam, instead of signing into the management page every single day to delete them?

I just ran into a period of about 10 minutes when every attempt to post or load a new page resulted in an "Operation timed out" message. Is the board undergoing unusually high traffic this weekend?
