IE7 sometimes seems to pull me this trick on several websites where I’m logged in, sometimes not. Do you use IE7? Same problem in another browser?
no i use mozilla, ie sucks!
@ seahawknationblog – when does it happen for u? for me, it happens when i try saving/updating an already published page.
i too recently upgraded to v2.7.
Log out, purge all your cookies, dump your cache, and try again.
FF 3 has weird caching going on, and I had to do that when I upgraded to WP 2.6
still does not work i already tried that several times with no success!
Can you try it on a different browser?
i already have and it still logs me out?
I have been experiencing this issue also. I am running Firefox 3, and it has been occurring since I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 and PHP5 a few days ago. I deleted the domain cookies to no avail. I have some other problems alos, I have a post about it here:

If anyone has any ideas as to the cause, PLEASE help!
Wow… so for some reason the moderators closed my other topic.
OK, I think I have fixed the problem, but the fix for me is not for the faint of heart.
Somehow, when upgrading, the options table of the WordPress database went bad for my site. This was causing the logout issues in the admin area for WordPress 2.7. I found this by checking each database table in phpmyadmin and repairing it. When it got to the options table, MySQL found it corrupted, unable to be repaired, and marked as a bad table. This has the effect of basically dumping your site, as visiting the front page now displays an install page. Luckily, I had made a complete database backup a few minutes before and I was able to restore the options table within a few minutes. After restoring the options table, the site returns to functioning properly, with the exception that EVERY configuration option, including ALL the configuration options for any plugins that are installed are lost. So I had to go through all the configuration options and set everything up again. This was a lengthy process, but at least the site is functioning again.
This is not a fun process, but here are some steps to recovery if you are facing the same issues I was:
1. Go through the admin and write down or record every configuration option you have set.
2. Get into phpmyadmin, make a complete backup of your database. Make sure you add the ‘DROP TABLE’ option. Make sure you have the text of the backup open and ready to go before proceeding.
3. Go through every table and repair it. If the Repair fails, be prepared to restore that table from the backup you just made. You can quickly copy and paste the repair SQL command into phpmyadmin if the table was not too large.
4. After the tables have been repaired, your site should be functioning properly again. You should now be able to log in to the admin without issue.
5. Go through all of the options for your site and restore the settings you had used previously.
GOOD LUCK
