You probably don't have it checked to remember your password. also when you clear your cookies you have to re-login.

Isn't there a checkmark box by the sign in thing that says "remember me"?

Mine always makes me do that too, and I always have the remember me box checked. It's been doing that since the board change.

The only time that happens to me is when I log out or use a different computer.

Either you are forgetting to check the "Remember Me" box, you are clearing your cookies, or you do not have cookies enabled.
