Opening a new browser window should be the same as opening a new page in the same window - the server you're getting the stuff from can't tell the difference. Has your puter been infested with pixies?
Slightly more helpfully, the 'don't leave me logged in forever' option will have some sort of time setting to help it tell the difference between 'sessions', and if you're prone to leaving the same page open without refreshing it - perhaps reading your friends page in bits and pieces over the course of several hours - it could appear that the page you've had open for ages is still logged in, and the new one you've just opened isn't. It would actually mean you're not logged in, as you'd see if you refreshed the original page.
Or, y'know, pixies. I reckon they're responsible for many computer oddities.
Hmm. I was going to use my 'I do believe in fairies' icon, cos of the pixies comments, but I think this one is more appropriate, as well as allowing me to say: GIC!
