Sorry if this problem has been addressed before, but does anyone know of a solution?

Every time I change them and hit save it never sticks. :/

Seems to be working fine when I try it. What global setting are you trying to change?

Users can contact me by e-mail: No
Administrators can e-mail me information: No
Hide my online status: Yes
Notify me on new private messages: No
Pop up window on new private message: Yes

Every time I select those settings and hit submit they go right back to default. This isn't a new thing, it's been like this since I first made my account. I would like to address the issue now and figure out a solution if at all possible.

I tried setting global settings to the exact ones you stated and everything saved fine. What browser are you using, and can you test what happens if you use a different browser?

I'm using brave. I just tried disabling all my browser extensions as well as using an entirely different browser (edge) with the same results. The settings do not save. Can't think there's much more I can do on my end tbh. Guess I'll just have to live with the way it is.

I tested it in Brave (my default browser, nice to see more and more people are using it ) and it worked fine there. Do you have any plugins or security software that might somehow interact with the page?

Nope, I disabled everything and still got the same result. When I hit submit, it appears to change the settings, but when I leave and come back (even without logging out, just going to a diff page) it's right back to default. So yeah, Idk lol.

Hmm.. Upon changing other setting (not global) I noticed you get a message saying "your setting have been changed" or whatever. I don't get that message/page when I try to change my global settings. It just seems to quickly reload the page when I hit submit. :/

Idk, it's not really a big deal, just strange.
