    Default is to invalidate login cookies on subnet change, so that may be why. In the password section of your account preferences you can change that, though. It's something I need to change too, because it gets annoying to relog all the time when using my tablet to read the site from different locations.

    It's probably not the best setting to choose as default, due to the ubiquity of mobile browsing now.

    What's a subnet? When was the last time you saw a genuine /24 that wasn't part of a supernet or subnet? Most ISPs will assign a dhcp address from >/24, most companies will have /24.

    Please don't tell me they're using class a/b/c from the pre CIDR times!

      Unfortunately, yes. Slash has some special IP handling we inhertiated and to change it would require a massive root channel which ATM isn't doable.
