In summary, users may experience difficulties with staying logged in when taking longer than 2-3 minutes to compose a response. This can be resolved by checking the "remember me" box when logging in, which will prevent users from getting kicked out while writing a post.

"logging off"

If I take more than 2-3 minutes to compose a repsonse, when I click post I'm told I cannot do that, refresh the page, login. Since it sometimes takes me 10 minutes to find a good citation during a post this happens a lot. It appears to happen more when I pop back and forth between tabs.

I start out logged in. Are some of my browser settings bad?

Do you check the "remember me" box when you log in? If not, then you should start doing that; it stops you getting kicked out whilst writing a post. You can still click the log out button to clear cookies etc when you leave.
