It's just your cookie settings, see the preferences on the same page as guenter just posted
You stay logged in as long as you keep the cookies, as in most forums etc., no new login needed. In the preferences you can set a max time how long to keep cookies, forever or several days or session only. You can check there the currently stored cookies and the list of exceptions: from which sites you allow or block cookies against your *general* cookie setting. See also in menu Tools > Privacy > "Block Cookies", and "permissions", and "View Data".
Personally I prefer to always have the Privacy Toolbar enabled, to see at one glance if cookies and javascript etc. are at the moment blocked or not
If you want to access your forum settings here (e.g. the list of "followed topics" etc.), that link appears at the top of the main forum pages, just not in single threads it seems ("control center").
PS: This forum works also fine without javascript, you just can't do any text formatting or insert smilies or such without it, unless you know what to type manually. And that's what the kmbbcode extension is meant for, it allows such stuff even when javascript is currently blocked (one of my most used macros
)
