Why does this forum keep making me login?

I just logged on this morning and now this afternoon I have to re-login. (Using Safari.)
Why can't this forum remember me? This is the main reason I never visit here.
I see the "phpbb2mysql_data" cookie is set to a year in advance and the the "phpbb2mysql_sid" cookie is end of session.
I can quit and re-login in immediately, just after a few hours or a day, I get reset. Is this intentional? Is this a phpbb2 thing?
Thanks.

Who is your ISP? I only ask that because phpbb session management relies on IPs, and if your ISP shuffles IPs, you will get ckicked whenever your IP changes. I had that awful experience at my former company. It was really obnoxious and very frustrating.

I have the same problem, but not with any other phpBB forums.

Ah, this morning I was using the WiFi at the coffee shop. Tonight I'm using the WiFi at McDonalds. Different IPs. My IP at home is dynamic.
I've only ever noticed this problem on this forum, but I don't go to any phpbb forums on a regular basis.

Oddly, I only noticed the problem with this forum as well, but I cannot say that I am the norm as I frequent this community and briefly visit others.

It is a shame to hear that Jeff. I think it would be of benefit to these forums to have you stop by more frequently. We should look into the problem as it seems that several others may have it as well.

Is there any update on this? Sorry to be a pain but it is very annoying.
