WTF? I log on. I go away for an hour, still logged on but when I come back I have
to log back in again. Never happened *before* and doesn't happen on other websites (except my email account, it times out). Is vB timing out?

it think its their mess, sometimes i log in and after redirecting i'm logged off again, sometimes it takes 4-5xtimes. Might be only IB thing, since they lost all the traffic, this will gain few clicks they desperately need.

Doesn't happen on my laptop, just this one. Why would I want to log out and close, etc. Typical IT BS "Have you tried rebooting" solution to all problems.

If you have no cookies then it can't store a session cookie and will make it very hard for you to stay logged in. Since that's how that works. If you have no cookies i believe the session gets passed around on the request, so if you leave the site and come back you might have to start all over with logging in.
KAWF worked the same way in that regard.
As for clearing cookies, if you do have cookies enabled and have a cookie for AW blasting it will reduce the likely hood of having mismatched session information.
Cookies can corrupt or get mixed session info that causes it to be bad so when you return to the site it can't read the cookie properly. Then it could have trouble updating or replacing the cookie for the same reason.
Logging off may or may not delete the cookie, but if it's bad it probably wont work anyway.
Other issues I could think of. If IB has control over the hardware and does anything like restarting servers like Apache or MySQL that too could cause some odd behavior with existing sessions.

If you login without checking the "remember me" checkbox, your login will expire after 30 minutes of inactivity as the session timeout is 1800 seconds. Checking the "remember me" checkbox when logging in stores a cookie on your computer that will keep you logged in even in the event of inactivity and/or closing your browser.
