A few minutes ago I took this quiz in Quiz Game mode:

http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Movies/Amelie-61137.html

All well and good, until I rated the quiz and pressed "Rate Quiz and Move On!" button.

Then I was taken back to the "Quizzes - Amelie" subcategory page all right, but I was logged out! I didn't realize this and took another quiz in the same category before I noticed nothing was turning green on the page.

I've seen this random logoff on other pages, but never in a quiz aubcategory. Could this be fixed?

It looks like you got to that quiz through a round-about method, entering it from this page:

http://www.funtrivia.com/en/Movies/Amelie-8538.html

That pages happens to lead to the generic "cached" version:

http://www.funtrivia.com/quizzes/movies/movies_a-c/amelie.html

So when you played a quiz in there, you were returned back to that page.

You were never logged out. That page just doesn't display your login information because it is a static HTML page.

A similar "Register new player - Log In" request sits atop the "Ask Fun Trivia" internal pages in the header bar. While still logged in, the text seems to indicate one needs to log in again. Backing out shows that the player is still logged in.

Yes, I did find the quizzes after viewing the Encyclopedia. I understand that I wasn't actually logged out, but the system behaved as if I were, in that I did not get credit for those quizzes. Is that intentional, to have the Encyclopedia page lead to the static HTML page?

If you read an answer in Ask now it logs you off but back in when you return. I think that must cover them all now, including the last month's cumulative results in most team quizzes.

Some local boards have you as "logged out" when you're on those screens.
