Now being logged off every time I close the browser

I don't think it's a browser setting; as this is the only page that does it. Any ideas?

... and apparently if I sit idle for too long

Be sure you have checked off "Remember me" when you login.

I did and when I came back I was logged off.
A quick check on THR and TFF has me still logged in

Delete all of your TFL cookies and try again (there may be more than one set of cookies). We have had reports of similar problems after the software update that took place a few days ago.

I finally nuked www.thefiringline.com so it's always redirected to simply thefiringline.com. That shouldn't have been affecting cookies since all cookies are supposed to be given out as .thefiringline.com, but who knows.

Cookies are a continual headache for some reason. vbulletin just isn't very smart about how it handles them.

Had a similar problem when I ran CC cleaner. Wiped out all my cookies until I put FL on the list to keep. Sounds like you have something set to "erase your footprints".
