in thread Dark Mode for AM?

this tells me how far back I need to look at "Newest Nodes" and "Recently Active Threads"

Newest Nodes and Recently Active Threads keep track of that automatically for you; you shouldn't have to manage that yourself.

I will usually log in immediately ... There are a few situations where I revert to AM ...

How are you doing that? You shouldn't need to explicitly log out and in again. The Domain Nodelet is useful for managing this. You can log into each of your pups on a different domain, and any others will serve for AM access; then just jump between them via the Domain Nodelet.

    "Newest Nodes and Recently Active Threads keep track of that automatically for you; you shouldn't have to manage that yourself."

    That's not been my experience; I have had to manage it manually. Do I need to adjust one or more settings somewhere for this to be automatic?

    "How are you doing that? You shouldn't need to explicitly log out and in again."

    I don't log in and out. Say I'm logged in using www.perlmonks.org, here's two common methods I use (with Firefox):

    • Duplicate Tab, then change org to net (or similar): different URL; no cookies set for this URL; not logged in.
    • Right-click then "Open Link in New Private Window": same URL; no cookies set in new private session; not logged in.
    "... via the Domain Nodelet."

    I've seen that in the past; it used to appear automatically; I never used it. I now see it's an opt-in via "Nodelet Settings". But thanks anyway for pointing it out.

      I don't think so. I am curious why it's not working for you. Works flawlessly for me; and I haven't heard anyone complaining of issues.

      Ah. Well, the Domain Nodelet makes that a snap; no address editing necessary. Just open the 'net' link (in the Domain Nodelet) in new tab. Done.

        Re Newest Nodes and Recently Active Threads, I'm not going to stay away for a few days just to test that. :-) However, I will try to remember to monitor the situation when that next happens and report back.

        Re Domain Nodelet, I've enabled that. Links from there only retain the node_id=nnnn part of the query string; for example, with https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=6364;user=861371 in the address bar, the Domain Nodelet shows links to http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=6364, http://perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=6364 and so on.
