Summary:Choices in Option menu isn't remembered after exiting the browser session
Description:When logging in with an account, you can save your profile, your favorites and your saved searches, but the choices you make in the options menu isn't saved along with your user. I guess it's saved as a browser cookie.
So if I want to use save some tags to use when tagging an image, I will need to write my tag list in the options each time I'm opening my browser (my browser always clears cookies when I close it down (security))

Could you please add the options settings to user settings on your server so it isn't saved locally. If you use different browsers/computers, you will have this problem as well.

If you save your blacklist and then log in on the new device, the saved blacklist will load on the new device if no other cookie is set. Otherwise this is intended as each device may want a different blacklist.

I have just tried to update All account data on option page ( https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=account&s=options ) one field at the time, Following this pattern:
1: Open Browser.
2: Log in with Gelbooru account
3: Update a field
4: Click save
5: Browse to another page on Gelbooru
6: Return to Option page to see if the field remain updated.
7: Close Browser
8: Open browser and log in on Gelbooru again to check if the option is still saved.

It turns out that every field remembered it's setting in step 6, but in step 8 most fields has lost it's settings.

Here is the list for every option (marked Saved/Not saved):
Tag Blacklist: Saved
Display all site content: Not saved
Comment Threshold; Not saved
Post Threshold: Not saved
My Tags: Not saved
Disable Mobile Navigation: Not saved
Dark Mode: Not saved
General Only Listing: Not saved
Ad Type: Saved
Show Comments: Saved
Post View Search: Not saved
Always Show Original: Not saved
Disable Image Constraint: Not saved
Message Notifications: Not saved

As you see above, my [Tag Blacklist] is saved, but [My Tags] is not. This should be same type of field, but somehow the website treads them different when it comes to save the option.

This is intentional behavior.

OK, then I will change my Bug Report to a question.

Most settings are check boxes, and it won't take long to check those you want be checked each time you log on, but one option will take annoying long time to fill. I would say this option is close to useless, if you need to fill it each time:
"My Tags" - Is there anyway to save this list from session to session?

I use a text file on a cloud storage platform I can access from all of my devices.

I guess you just copy-paste your text file into the fields each time then.

Wasn't what I expected. That's of cause why I created this ticket, but if this is as intended, I guess you can close this ticket.

Thanks for your answer.
