that's works well for me. Maybe a issue with the ' in the thread name.

Happens to me too, for instance when I am in the 'New threads' thread and I click on the link. Occasionally when I want to open a thumbnail either. Sometimes I even have to log in again for entering that new tab.
I cannot reproduce this error today. (Running latest version of Firefox)

I'm afraid my explanation in a previous post might not be clear to those who are not familiar with the jargons like 'cookie' or 'domain'. So, I'll try to clarify what I said above in non-technical terms.
When you login, the website send your browser a small bit of data to track your activity. The problem is, the data is specific to the 'domain' of the website. Simply put, a 'domain' is what you enter into your browser's address bar minus any path part. And you can visit CF using two different domains, namely "www.cruxforums.com" and "cruxforums.com".
As such, if you login to https://www.cruxforums.com, for example, then click on a link which starts with https://cruxforums.com, it may look like you were "logged out" since you haven't logged to https://cruxforums.com yet.
A common solution is choosing one of those domains as default, then redirecting any request to the other domain to the chosen one. This is not a user setting but must be configured from the server side.
In summary, there is nothing wrong with your browser but it's something that need to be dealt with on the server.
Hope this may clear up the confusion.

As to the solution, it's a bit tricky for me to say since I don't have access to CF's XenForo or Cloudflare admin console, nor I have used either of them before.
But a quick Google search gave me this instruction which I think can be applied to solve our problem (there are a few other ways to solve this problem, but this could be the simplest one):
support.cloudflare.com
To be specific, it looks like you can use "https://cruxforums.com*" (without quotation marks, but including the trailing asterisk) as the URL pattern, and "https://www.cruxforums.com$1" as the forward target.
@ImageMaker, could you look into this issue and see if the above mentioned solution can be applied to our Cloudflare account? If it doesn't work, please feel free to let me know via PM. Thanks in advance.

Fallenmystic, me clicking on the Forced labour in mine collection link in your posts, and not being able to view the pictures, is what made me first notice the problem.As to the solution, it's a bit tricky for me to say since I don't have access to CF's XenForo or Cloudflare admin console, nor I have used either of them before.

Could you tell me what URL you see in the browser’s address bar and what specific post that shows such a problem in that thread?
Cran

The Url says http://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/my-3d-works-regarding-forced-labour-in-mine.8007/
It starts with www.. I'm logged into a tab that donsn't start with that, like what you said.
The link that I clicked on is the link that shows up in all your posts, under For my 3D works: Forced labour mine collection.

Are you sure it's "http://" rather than "https://"? Currently, the server redirects you to HTTPS even if you connected using HTTP. So, unless there is something broken either in your browser or the server, you shouldn't be seeing such a url when you visit CF.
Do you mean you can reproduce the problem with every link in that thread? I'm asking this because there are a few different types of links there - some are attachments which should follow the same domain and protocol as the thread itself while there are a few links that direct you to images hosted on an external site like Imgur.

I clicked on the link, and now I am getting https://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/my-3d-works-regarding-forced-labour-in-mine.8007/ I don't know why it is different.
When I got http, the browser showed that the connection wasn't secure, but with this url, it is.
In the Steinlen's 'crucified Serbia' link, posted by SilentFan, I am directed to https://cruxforums.com/xf/threads/steinlens-crucified-serbia.4904/ and I am still logged in
The link that Madiosi posted to Crux-forums E-book Library, directs me to https://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/crux-forums-e-book-library.4744/ and I am not logged in.
When I click your link https://www.cruxforums.com$1, I am not logged in, but logged in with, but I am logged in with https://cruxforums.com*.

Thanks for the clarification. It looks like you are experiencing the same problem about using two different domains to access CF which I've explained above.
As to "https://www.cruxforums.com$1" or "https://cruxforums.com", they are not URLs but patterns that need to be used in the CDN's page forwarding settings. It's not something ordinary users like us need to be concerned of, as it was for ImageMaker who is the owner of the site.
