Usually when You use the remember me feature on a website you don't have to log in every time.

However on here you do whether you tick that box or not.

Have I missed the point or is it not working properly?

Seems to work ok for me, both on a computer and my iPhone.

Is it just this site, or do you get the same in other websites you regularly log into?

If you clear cookies after visiting dodgy website, you'll have to re-login. Or if you "remember me" during a 'private' mode session, ditto.
It's also possible that your browser, AV software, or (if at work, public hotspot, etc) a barrier proxy might mess with session cookies/delete them.
Or if you have cookies turned off (non-persistent).

The phpbb session cookies do have a fairly long expiry (over a year) so it won't be that.

It's conceivable that phpbb doesn't work well with multiple logins from different devices. php! I NO RITE?

And of course, the site itself could be doing session resets.

So, the short answer is: yes, you missed the point - or rather, understandably, you believed the feature's claim :)
