Intra-forum links not working?

[Arathol]

I've noticed lately that if someone posts a link that leads from one subsection to another, for instance a link on the General Discussion forum that leads to the Traditional forum, the link will open the page but I need to log in again on that page.....This also happens if I'm logged in on the General Discussion forum and click on the BladeForums logo at the top of the page to open the forum list. Any ideas?

Check and see if that person is using bladeforums.com vs www.bladeforums.com

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with any specific person. Whenever I am logged on to a specific section, and click on a link that leads to another section, I need to log in again on that page. If I click the back button and return to the previous page I will still be logged in.
For instance, if I open the Traditional forum using the link saved in my favorites list I'll be logged in. When I click on the Bladeforums logo at the upper left the page with the forums list appears but I won't be logged in. If I use any link on that list to visit a different forum section, I need to log in again. Once I Iog in a second time on the new page the links work properly and I can open and be logged in on any page. If I close the forum window completely then return later using the links in my favorites list, I will still be logged in on the page that opens, but once again if I use a link posted on any forum page I have to log in yet again. This is a fairly recent occurrence. I don't remember ever having this problem before. I've compared the links I have saved in my favorites file to the links on the forum list, they are the same. If I use the links in my favorites file to open the various pages, I stay logged in when changing pages....

Example, sticking with the Traditional section-
link from my favorites file-

https://bladeforums.com/forums/traditional-folders-and-fixed-blades.773/

Link copied from whats posted in the forums list -

https://bladeforums.com/forums/traditional-folders-and-fixed-blades.773/

If I use the first link (from my favorites list) to open the forum, I'll be logged in to the Traditional forum automatically.
If I am already logged in (using a link from my favorites file) on any other forum page (General Discussion for example), then open the Traditional forum from the link posted on the forum list page (the second link posted above), I get logged out...Once I log in again everything seems fine for navigating the various pages...until I close the forum window and return, at which time I have to do it all over again.....
