I have had a log-on problem for the past two days. When I get to the main page, I automatically log on (and my user ID appears on the upper right corner). But when I try to do anything, it automatically logs me off.
You're probably logging on initially to wikipedia.com; a few days ago we changed all the internal links to wikipedia.org, so when you follow a link your cookie goes away. The solution is to change your initial log in to wikipedia.org.

By the way, if you visit www.wikipedia.org, shouldn't the cookie be for 'wikipedia.org' instead of 'www.wikipedia.org'?
