Dear staff and members,

I wanted to change some of the settings there (notify on PM, disable smilies, timezone, and date format). But, no matter what, the settings just won't save at all.

I've tried searching any related topics on this but failed (the closest is this). So here I am posting this topic.

Is it just my account?

After clicking save, are you taken to a page saying "Your profile has been updated"?

Have you tried using a different browser or trying in incognito/private mode (to temporarily disable extensions)? It seems to be working normally for me at the moment.

It's working now, and I'm able to change them at will. Must have been a server delay or something. (Don't quote me, though, as I'm clueless regarding web's inner workings)

Yes, but it was still the same (each time).

Chrome (adblocker) and Firefox (no extensions running); same results.

The last time I tried was an hour after my post, without any change. So, it might be working if I checked at your posting time.

Please excuse me for the unnecessary quotations after it has been solved. :P
