Some members have had trouble with this forum sending them back to the main page or logging them out whenever they click on anything. It happens when they try to post, send a pm or view a forum.
The problem isn't exclusive to just this forum and has occurred on other Proboard forums as well. People using IE seem to be the ones effected but not every IE user is having trouble.
If you find that you're one of the people experiencing this problem the advice given on the Proboards Support forum is to...
Try deleting the forum from your favorites list, retype the URL in the address bar and bookmark it again.
Also from Proboards Support,
I recommend anyone using this forum's old link, which includes 91 in the link, delete the 91 from the link and then add that link to your favorites.

"In I.E., if you follow a numbered link you get redirected to the new address. Internet Explorer, for some reason, is taking it upon itself to block cookies from the new address.
With the cookies blocked, when the page refreshes, obviously PB cannot see the expectant cookie, and so logs you straight off again.
Look at the bottom of the screen. You should see a little 'eye' icon. Double click it and a box pops up with the blocked sites. Remove the new PB address, refresh and try again.
Be aware that if you follow a numbered link back to the forum, it may well block the cookies again."
