That's strange; everything is working OK for me. I tested both the original
unsecured
       http://news.povray.org/groups/
page, and the new secured one.  (That's generally how I get to the newsgroups.)
In both cases, when I fire-up a fresh Firefox, go to the 'groups' page, then go
to this particular message thread and log-in to leave a message (this one, in
fact!), the log-in page is now secure, and with no time-out. I also tried going
*directly* to an old POV-Ray message thread that I bookmarked-- thus by-passing
any other newsgroup related web pages-- and the new scheme still works.

[I have Firefox set to erase passwords and such when I exit it , if that has
anything to do with the problem. I don't keep the program active all the time.]

Or maybe it's a web-portal vs. newsreader problem?
