Steve,
When you sign in, Lugnet stores a cookie on your system. You have 3 options as
to how long it stays there. My guess is last time you signed in, you chose the
"until I sign out manually" option, but something (possibly unrelated) has
recently removed that cookie from your PC. All you need to do is sign in again.

PS: I always use the default "while my browser is running" option for security,
even on my home PC. Just paranoid I guess 8?)
