I noticed that lately clicking on a posted link to another page on the forum logs you out, this never happened before, any idea why?

Also, it doesn't appear to sign me out in my other tabs, only the new one.

This is only with links people post or in sigs, the normal ones are fine.

Part of the problem maybe with the "www" qualifier. The addresses "http://www.pso-world.com" and "http://pso-world.com" use different cookies. If you login using one address, that login will not carry over to the other form. When you click on someone's signature, you maybe switching over to the alternate form of the web address.

That might be it, or it might not be. In the past, what I've encountered is that a link including number of posts to display (IE-- http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=152158&forum=6&1 ) will, for some bizarre reason, display the page, not only with me logged out, but using someone else's color theme entirely, and not always the default theme, at that. Consistently, that effect can be avoided by removing the post count at the end of the URL.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and apparently trying to embolden part of a URL in a post will make the BBcode go nuts.

Well, the reason I ask is because I don't remember it ever happening before, also, before Van removed the button link, I could initially click it and go without logging out, then later it would log my out, the forum index is my homepage, so it shouldn't have changed the URL I sign in through.
