Settings are not carried across devices

After spending sometime customizing many settings on my PC, for my surprise none of that is carried to another device. Went to iPad and everything was set to default. Same if you try to use it in another computer. What's the point of having settings per device?

Hmm. Maybe because the devices work differently.

PCs have different capabilities and features than mobile devices and visual and game play settings on one may not be the best on the other.

However, settings across computers are all the same, with exceptions of ones that are cookie based.

Same thing even on 2 different Logins on the same computer. I think they save the settings in the browser in the frontend or something like that. I have 2 windows login in the same computer and every time I change something in one login I have to do the same in the other login.

Even with basic settings, like pieces and board color. Even that is not consistent on multiple computers/devices. It looks more like a system limitation or bug then anything else.

On a browser, the settings are going to be account bound, with the exception of cookie based ones. So things like background, piece and board set will be the same on every web browser and device. The only other exception is if there's a problem reading the settings from the database.

They are the same. I work across multiple browsers and devices with no issues seeing the same settings.

On my iPad I see green board, on windows account 1 I see white/black board, on windows account 2 I see blue/white board. All different.

If you log into the same account on the website on each devices they will be the same unless one of your devices has issues loading the settings and it will load the site default. I use multiple devices and the settings are the same in each
