    "All that being said ... from time to time, the site will “forget” that you are logged in."

    There you go, once again touting this phantom issue. Historically you've never bothered to take basic steps to help debug the issue. Most likely a PEBCAK issue. Remind me again, "why don’t we work on making this venerable web-site better"? You seem to want to complain yet never do anything about it, make a call to arms and offer nothing, continually post wildly inaccurate advice (often dangerous), despite repeatedly being corrected, and you seem to be on some sort of downward spiral with your ill advised personal attacks, on the wrong people.

    If you, for example, press the "Submit" button right away

    There isn't any "submit" button on the first draft, only "preview". When I hit that, I get a gigantic

    You aren't logged in.

    above the text field (it looks exactly like that). Only then do I get the "create" button.

    It will?

    My profile claims I've been on the site since 2002. In that time, I've needed to log back in because of using a new computer/browser/OS install. I've needed to log back in because I've accessed the site through a different domain. And that's it. I have never had the site "forget" that I'm logged in, it has certainly never terminated my session in the middle of making a post, and I have never posted accidentally as Anonymous Monk. (I'm pretty sure that I've never posted intentionally as Anonymous Monk either, but I'm not 100% certain about that.)

    I'm willing to accept that the site may sometimes "forget" that you, specifically, sundialsvc4, are logged in, but it is not a general problem that commonly affects the monks at large.

      > but it is not a general problem that commonly affects the monks at large.

      Sometimes one follows links to other PM domains, where one isn't logged in (eg from CB)

      This happens from time to time, I suppose you just logged into all domains encountered to prevent this.

      Changing the theme helps here too.
