Deleting all my Giant Bomb cookies, including the saved video position ones, seems to have fixed it again. Maybe too many of the saved position ones stack up over time, and that's why it happens again after a certain amount of time has passed?
It's started happening for me again too. It's weird to see it started back up again for me and Glots around the same time. I'll see whether the usual fixes work.
I've been having this problem too, also in Firefox (54.0 32-bit). I don't think it's actually logging off -- I can still post to forums, watch premium videos, etc. -- it's like it just forgets all your settings. In addition to the black theme going to white and telling you to log in, the videos also all default back to Youtube instead of the GB player, and everything de-embiggens. The first time it happened, I fixed it by deleting all my GB cookies and restarting, but it's back again and this time that doesn't seem to be working.
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem then. I tried that solution too within the first few days but it didn't do much for me either. Guess I'll live with it for now.
I am at the moment unable to replicate this. Are you both on Windows? What version?
I'm on Windows 10 Home 64-bit. It's currently not giving me the bug, so I can't test whether changing add-ons would make a difference.
The only thing I can say is that I originally tried deleting my Giant Bomb cookies except for the saved video position ones, and that didn't stop the bug. Then I went back and deleted all of them, and now I don't have the bug. So maybe it's related to that somehow?

Nobody "got their hands on an early copy." This is a montage video of content sent to the ESRB for ratings (notice in the third embed that it switches directly from a victory screen to footage of the home run derby mode). There's also an imgur gallery floating around of more shots from this video, many of which focus on any content that would potentially affect the rating (shots of scantily clad female character trophies, Wario's trophy that mentions farting, the gambling-esque element of spectator mode, etc). This isn't somebody with a leaked copy, this is a leaker in either NOA or inside the ESRB, which is news in itself. Somebody's getting fired.
I think this is more an issue with Firefox. I get this same issue trying to load Progressive HD videos in Firefox, but I just tried out a couple 2 hour videos in Chrome and they worked fine.
I never got it. I assume it's because I had the chat page loaded up before the show started and never refreshed (because with the site under strain I wasn't sure if it'd come back).
