Strange occurrance

I've had one problem from the outset that has puzzled me. I can log in and check for new posts. It will show the number of new posts, say 200. Then after looking at several threads, it will all of a sudden say there are no more matches. I can no longer look at the new posts, as they are all apparently marked as read, when I haven't read them.

I mention it, today, because I had strange occurrance. I logged in and it said there were 248 new posts. I clicked on that and it immediately said that there were "no matches". It does this kind of thing all the time whether I'm logged in at home or on my work computer, though usually it takes a couple hours before this happens.

A similar thing that happens is that I'll be logged in and everything working fine, then I click on another thread, or the User CP and it will ask me to log in.

There is a time limit to seeing New Posts. If you login and see New Posts and then wait to click the link for any length of time, New Posts disappear.

Whenever this happens to me, I use the Today's Posts and it quickly brings me up to speed.

Just now, when I went to reply to a post, it asked me to log in again (I just logged in, a few minutes ago and hadn't ended my session). When I went to add this message, it asked me to log in again, even though I'm still shown as logged in on the main page.
