Not sure whats going on for you Tony. It works fine for me, and obvious for at least some others as well.
I know the site is in need of an update, but sadly I do not have the time to do that at the moment. It involves a whole new layout theme, which means that a lot of basic stuff needs to be redone completely and most likely means every single page will need to be looked at/adjusted. The Forum will not need much, but the main site will need a lot of work which costs a lot of time, which I just do not have.
So right now I try to do the best I can with the material I have.
One thing you can try is, when you log in, be sure to mark the “Remember Me”, when you do that the site will keep you logged in.
What browser/computer system do you use?
