&gt; To make it even weirder, if you log out of Chrome, remove the user profile, create a new one and go back to the site - it works fine - for a while. Could be a few minutes, could be a few hours.
Sounds like a coincidence to me.

How about just clearing your cookies?

Also:

&gt;  random weirdness [...] almost as if it is losing the session.
That's really not much to go on.

I mean... how is it actually manifesting etc?

&gt;  I am all out of ideas
OK, but what *were* those ideas?

How is anyone supposed to suggest anything, based on this info?

We did try that before the user profile thing, and no joy - actually, everything but passwords, which is how the desktop guy got involved.  Had to save all those passwords and put them in the new profile.

Pls don't put stuff back into the main channel from a thread when it's not going to mean anything at all to ppl not in the thread.

OK, so what do passwords have to do with the situation? That could be something?
