Thanks for the ideas! Here is how it went:

Cookie setting/timeout - still set at 900 default (15min)

Disabled the "Cyb Chatbox" mod - didn't appear to make any difference. However I did notice that the "Active user cutoff time" was 30min, so was hoping that it might. (This chatbox uses the VB login name to control access to the chatbox)

Still having the problem of my current-user (top right) switching between my normal registered username, and being not logged in at all (if I switch between a sub-forum, and then back to the top level). If I log out, then elect to go back to the same page as I was on, it logs me back on again automatically. Sometimes I log on, it appears to accept my information, then shows up as me not being logged on anyhow (with no error message).

For the above problems, if I refresh the page it will fix things for a while. If I clear my browser history that also helps for a while.

It is obviously some sort of cookie/cache setting, but how do I fix it permanently? It is also happening for other users.

It is a very new installation of VBulletin, so I am very new at this... Any thoughts appreciated!
