Every time I log onto tv tropes I have to set my display options over again because my profile somehow doesn't keep 'em.

Of course it does. Otherwise I wouldn't even be able to log on.

The settings remain until I log off but after logging back on they are reset to default state.

This happens to me but it's like every other week? And I do have cookies enabled. Also it's largely an issue on my phone.

I'd be really annoyed due to auto-play video being on by default but I have the ad pass so shrug.

The autoplay video eats up my limited traffic so it really is a problem for me.

And I'm also using a mobile device.

i have kind of the opposite problem: my display options won't revert at all.

i tried turning on night vision to test out a color feature, but then my display is stuck in night vision, no way of turning it off. i then turned on a bunch of other features like sticky header, wide load, lefthand bar, etc, and now they're all stuck as well.

i tried logging out, closing my browser, etc and all the display options are still stuck in the "on" setting. i can't turn them off or revert them.

update: i've solved the issue. i went to the cookies list on my Chrome and removed the specific cookies associated with the settings (night-vision, wide-load, highlight-links, etc). still kinda weird that user settings are stored this way, though.

if you want to access your TV Tropes cookies on Chrome, go to
