For some reason I keep being signed out now. I clicked the remember me option before signing in, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I looked through the control panel for options but unless I missed something, I didn't see anything. Pre-update I didn't have to worry about this. It's not a huge deal, but it is kind of annoying to have to constantly re-sign in.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
That is typically caused by a change in the cookies stored by the forum on your computer. The best way to fix that is to clear the forum's cookies. You can do this by manually deleting the site's cookies through your browsers settings, by clicking the trashcan at the bottom of the page, or both. Hopefully that resolves your issue.

Yep it didn't occur to me to do that, i will it and see if that works because i have been having the same problem staying logged into my account too.
DB collection related goals as of now:
1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done)
Still get logged out automatically now, when before I could just leave my account open for weeks without it signing out, so I can check updates easier.
