I can duplicate this problem with Firefox on Win NT.
If I enter the url, or use a bookmark, of www.oesf.org/forums/ then I get logged in automatically.
If I enter the url (or bookmark) as zaurususergroup..., skipping the www. part, then I am connected as guest.
that clarity helps...
I can confirm the same thing with opera under suse 9.1. The bug seems to be when you leave out the www.
What I found though, if you do just typ in oesf.org/forums/, it will initially think you are a guest, but if you click the ZaurusUserGroup.com link, it will take you to your logged in session.

I'll research the bug, and hopefully get it fixed soon.
