@stereointegrity: Part of a transfer of how it's stored - previously it relied on cookies and the setting data was lost whenever cookies were wiped, so people had to keep changing it, now it's stored in the database against the account instead, so once it's set once it's now always remembered as long as you're logged in.
There is the unfortunate downside of the dark theme no longer being readily available to users that don't have an account or otherwise aren't logged in, but it wouldn't work with it relying on the database anyway and they'd have to re-implement the cookie version as well just to keep that...but having 2 methods side by side could get messy and I imagine they just don't have time for that sort of minor thing at the moment.
@robotopbuddy: Might want to ask Giantbomb how they manage to have their toggle between light and dark mode. Since you both are owned by the same company.
