    I'm getting fed up with it now. Same on Opera, FF and chrome. :(
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    It happened to me the first time over a week ago, just like everyone else, but has never happened again since then. I didn't change anything or clear any files or cookies, it just happened that once for me.

    I was having the same problems in FIrefox 3.5.5. Ended up removing the totalwar cookies via tools / options / privacy / show cookies and it looks like it's OK now.

    Two things I can think of.

    First, what others have said, purging one's cache/cookies/etc can sometimes fix this. It happened to me once also, but hasn't happened again.

    Second, it could be browser settings. Firefox can do something called "private browsing", which automagically purges all user data when the browser is closed. This means cookies, cache, settings, url history, etc. The other part in Firefox is in the Options/Privacy tab, "clear settings" when done. If either of those are used, it could cause this behavior.

    IE is a giant turd and I refuse to use it, so I can't provide any help there.

    I might have found a workable solution for Opera users. I changed the expiration of the org cookie from 2 days hence to 2010-11-24. Instead of logging me out every 60 minutes, I've moved around the org for 4 hours now, uninterrupted.

    Tools>Advanced>Cookies

    scroll down to totalwar.org, left-click; highlight/select the second entry (starts with: "SESS1..."), click "edit", change the expiration date to waay in the future. Close.

    So far, so good.

    -edit-
    nevermind. Logged me out after 6 hours.

    Hmm, my Opera stays logged in, no problem here so far.

    I tried that Kukri it was a bit better but as you said it logged me out after an hour or so. Thanks anyway.
