Hey Monks

I was just playing with my user settings and noticed some particularly odd behaviour when I tried to change my theme. I could change it (using the selection list) but I had to submit the form twice to get it. Each time I hit 'submit' the new page I was presented with was the one I had expected to see from the previous time.

Okay, that probably wasn't very clear. Maybe an example. I'm currently using the green theme. I go to my user settings and select the red one and hit submit. The page I get presented with is still in the green theme, but the form shows I've selected red. So I choose a different one, say blue, and hit submit. The new page is presented in the red theme (!) and blue is selected in the form. If I hit submit again without changing the theme from blue, the next time the page is displayed in the blue theme. :-) It's interesting, I didn't know the user settings were a game too.

Anyway, I took a quick look around using SuperSearch looking for 'user settings theme' and didn't see anyone else mentioning the same problem, so maybe it's just my browser or something, but I thought I'd mention it just in case it isn't an isolated problem.

If it makes any difference, I'm using a Phoenix nightly build from January 27th, 2003.
