I have the same issue, but it seems to be device related. If I use a new device and login it then logs me out of all other devices but as I flit between mac, phone and iPad I always have to login each time!!
This happens to me on any device: iPad, iPhone, PC running Chrome or IE. It's the only forum I use that does it. It started after the last big forum update a while back.
Happens to me maybe 1 in 3 visits, across all devices and has done for a couple of years. Drives me fcukin' nuts and seems to be getting worse.
It even logs me out in between starting a reply to a post and hitting submit. Many occasions I just can't be arsed re-typing.
I cant comment on this as I personally don't auto log in.
There doesnt appear to be any wide spread issue with it across other forums, and no code has been changed.
As it has been said above, it is probably user specific, and all that can be recommended is to delete cache, temp internet files etc etc.
Also take a closer look at your User Control Panel and in the Profile section, there is Manage "Remember Me" login keys. Take a look there.
To be honest, I would just sign in each time you use the forum.
It's a mixture of browser caching, and differing login keys created on different devices.
Hence why you can come back and appear to be logged in still (using the cache), but you then get logged out when reading a new thread (cache cleared). The site will then compare keys and they will be different if on a new device so you will be logged out.
Annoying, and a bit complex, but if you are using Apple devices just use keychain to login as its not much hassle.

Yes but if you look at login keys in your profile, it allows multiple ones to be stored. That should really be one for each device. I have loads in there despite only logging in from one browser + Tapatalk. By verdict : probably a bug in the version of the forum software we have.
Irrespective if I'm at the office or home I always clear my internet history / cache from a security aspect and similarly with Norton 360 "File Cleanup" followed by closing the PC's, there are occasions as a result that require a "log-In" but to be honest I don't have an issue especially as each PC "remembers" my log-in details.
Just checked cookies and it appears that something is clearing the remember-me key cookie.
