Hi everyone. If you came to this thread then you are having problems and I believe I have a "work-around" for you that will allow you to navigate and post replies as well as new posts/threads while remaining logged in.
Issue #1: I try to reply to "Recent" threads/posts but I cannot because I am not logged in.
Steps:
1. Simply go to Forums->"Your Activity" and click it. Notice you are logged in because your username is in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
2. Click the other "Recent Posts" link and you get some recent post to pop up. Notice you are still logged in. Now if you click a post to read and reply to you will remain logged in and able to reply TO THAT POST :)
Again it's not perfect and not 100% the same as the "Recent" link to at the top of the screen (to avoid for now) but it should keep you in the ballgame seeing new posts and being able to reply to them :)

Issue #2: I cannot create or "Post New Thread" because I am not logged in.
Steps:
1. Simply go to Forums->"Your Activity" and click it. Notice you are logged in because your username is in the upper right hand corner of the screen. THIS STEP KEEPS YOUR LOGGED IN as long as you navigate from here.
2. Click the "Open Quick Navigation" icon and the "Quick Navigation Menu" window will pop up.
3. You can now navigate/choose a forum category "General Discussion", "Blowing Smoke", "Poultry", etc. that you would like to Post New Thread in. Notice you are still logged in
At this point you can post a new thread and notice that you remain logged in. See the image below where I Post New Thread, and fill out the Create Thread screens.
In short as long as you start from the Forums menu at the top of the screen and you click from within it you can remain logged in. If you click anywhere outside the Forums menu/section (like the Recent section) chances are you will no longer be logged in and you will be unable to post.
I hope this helps some of you because I have seen a bit of decline in activity on the site over the past week or two with this issue. Work is slow for me so all I have is time to scour every inch of the site to try and kill time... which gets tough when no one is participating hahaha. Best of luck! :D
