Some people like to randomize their browser User-Agent to mitigate fingerprinting and tracking. If you do this on this forum, it doesn’t work.
Specifically, it forgets your login state unless you keep the User-Agent consistent within a session.

It seems to me that the forum code uses a change in User-Agent as something that invalidates the session cookie.
Indeed, that’s what it seems to be doing. Annoying.
I brought this up with the other Administrators just now. I’ll report back on what we come up with.
