I have to log in every time I visit the site -- unless I have previously logged in during the same browser instance. Again: IE 6 on WinXP. (Don't forget the mixed secure/insecure content when being redirected to https://lwn.net/login... and the "being redirected to an insecure page" after logging in; also, once I login the conext of where I was attempting to enter (a "$" protected story or to post a comment) is lost and I am thrown back to the main page. Then when I navigate to the intended area I initially see the "you need to log in" until I forceably refresh (Ctrl-F5).
With Mozilla 1.2 on WinXP I stay logged in between browser instances and even after upgrading from one version of Mozilla to another.
Damn WinIE. If not for the fact that our web application mandates WinIE, it'd be tossed.
