Hi Brent,
Your theory sounds plausible - I'm in the UK and haven't noticed any
problems at any stage in my working day.
You're more likely to be using the site during US evenings, whereas I
log in very early in their morning when their maintenance has probably
finished.
I do wish it would keep me logged in though, even just for one day at a
time. Other forums I read automatically log me in every time, which is
just that little bit less hassle.
I have some other gripes about PlanetPTC too, but my PM to Admin has
gone unanswered, so I doubt there's much we can do. 😞
