I seem to have problems with PH logging me out (and hence me losing all preferences, ability to post etc). This can happen mid-session and seems to be linked to use of the Gassing Station 'What's New' link.

Not a big problem, just confusing sometimes

I'll try and narrow down the circumstances under which it happens.

Right, I've worked out what it is. The 'track threads' feature is gobbling up the cookie allocation and kicking out older items such as your login.

Quick solution: turn off thread tracking

Proper solution: I'm working on it

Damn - caught in the act

You don't need to edit the address line - click on 'Home' on the grey bar below the PH logo.

Right... I'm off for a few large . I may be some time
