Description Taylor 2012-10-10 01:48:49 UTC 
I can log on via the wiki and move over to the forum, it will remain logged in, but once I answer something and attempt to click back to the main page, it logs my account out again (my account is Tomato).

Sometimes I will encounter a bug where instead of logging on my account, it will show my IP instead. So instead of saying "Hello Tomato" on the top, it says "Hello xx.xxx.xx.xx".

My account has admin rights and if it switches to the IP, my admin rights disappear. It seems I can fix it by hard refreshing (which logs me out again) and logging back in.

The problem was with my cookies, the issue is occurring if cookies aren't storing properly. Sorry. I will close my other bug too for this reason.
