Every time I visit Hacker News on my iPad I'm logged out. Apple has decided that if you don't visit a website often enough it will expire all your cookies for the site.

In practice that means I can log in to HN while I'm at the cafe one weekend and be logged out by the time I visit the next weekend.

Are you sure? My iPad has been logged on for months... the only that make it log off on the iPad is when I log off on the desktop.

Apparently HN does it on purpose and kills alls sessions on all devices when you log off.
