mumofdjandbabies and Sciolist, you're both on our system as "Remain logged in", so it could be your browser causing the problem.

Are you closing the browser in between visits, and that's when it's logging you out? It may be that your browser is automatically clearing out your cache, and thus your cookie, which is how the site recognises you.

OK, when you log in to MN, it puts a cookie on your computer - a tiny file with an ID number, if you like. So when you come back, MN looks for that little file, and says "aha, that's mumtodjandbabies".

But sometimes your browser is set to clear out all those little files every time you close it - so when you come back, MN doesn't know who you are, and so you have to log in again.

If you are using Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and scrolldown to the Security options - look and see if the "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed" box is ticked.

When you go to "new messages" there is a Search type option - either messages in the last xxx minutes/hours etc, or since you last posted. Are the username and password boxes filled in?
