I have to log into my forum just about everytime I visit it, sometimes when I am making a long post it will log me out with out me knowing and when I hit POST, it gives me an error that you must be logged in or a registered user to post.  So now I have to copy all my posts to my clipboard, cross my fingers and hit submit in case it won't accept my post, the re-log in and make my post again.

Addionally almost everytime I attempt to log in it does not accept my password the first time but does the second and I am allowing the auto fill to fill in my password so I know I am not mis typing my password.
 
Any ideas how to fix this?

This is almost certainly an issue with cookies - which browser are you using? Have you checked that your cookie settings are enabled? Do you get an SID number in your address bar? example:

On the first post - look at "Topic Options", theres a "watch this topic" or "stop watching this topic", no need to make a new post. Smile

Thanks Scotty, I've never noticed that.  Embarrassed
 
I am using IE7, no SID and cookies are enabled.  This happened after I got a virus and installed AVG antivirus.  I think one of them must have jacked with my cookies or cookie settings.  I checked the cookie settings and they seem to be correct.

Are your other users having the same issues?

The reason I ask is it sounds like it could be server related with the server not holding the ASP session.
