The UBB software we used to run supposedly made you enter your password once a year, which was a joke -- the cookies on your system get lost or corrupted, the forum software gets updated or something or other always goes wrong a lot more than once a year. I don't think the vBulletin software we run now says that -- but it doesn't matter; something always goes wrong. It's not a rule; it's something going wrong either on your system (your cookies can get messed up when your browser crashes, and browsers always crash) or on Bladeforums (I'm not sure exactly how that happens, but I get the impression every time Spark tweaks the software a little it forgets who we are and we have to login again). If you're really lucky you might go so long without having to login you could forget your password....
How often is it happening? If you have to login more often than the rest of us there could be something wrong with your settings or your system.

Hey -- that might be why I'm not having that problem so much any more. I recently deleted all cookies from my drive and changed my IE security settings to refuse all cookies except from websites that I tell it to accept, and I'm only doing that with a few sites (mostly forums, a few stores). IMHO there is no legitimate reason for most websites to use cookies, and in fact when I was accepting but watching them I noticed the great majority are from popup and banner ads (which IE considers a separate website, usually). There are a variety of ways advertisers abuse cookies to invade your privacy and target you with web ads and mailspam.
It never occurred to me that accepting cookies from one website could screw up the cookies of another website, but maybe so ... and if so, that's yet another reason not to allow websites that don't have any legitimate purpose for cookies to put them on your system.
