Upgrade to Persistent Storage

Right now, your theme is saved in sessionStorage. It disappears the moment you close this tab. If you want the site to remember your theme on your next visit, click the big red button to write it to localStorage.

How It Works: No Footprint by Default

Most websites force you to accept cookies or drop tracking files on your hard drive just to remember a setting. We hate that. So we default to sessionStorage.

sessionStorage lives only in your browser's active memory. When you close the tab, it is instantly wiped from existence. No files written to your disk. No persistent identifier. No footprint.

The Red Button

The big red button is your opt-in to localStorage. If you click it, we ask your browser to write a small file to your disk containing your theme choice. This is the only way the site can remember you across different days.

We make it a big, glowing, slightly alarming red button because it's a deliberate choice. You are trading a tiny piece of your privacy (a persistent footprint) for convenience (not having to pick your theme again).

This same philosophy applies to user tokens for the message boards and the Save API. They are session-only by default. The same opt-in exists on the pages that persist a token — a checkbox on login, a button on the storage page.
