Piotr, I don't follow you. Settings are stored in the pmadb on one server, right? Therefore if I switch server I could obtain different settings?
Yes, sorry... that's what I get for writing at midnigt :)
No problem, but thinking of it, maybe users will be under the impression that when they choose some setting, it follows them when they switch MySQL servers and it might be prudent to inform them about this on the interface.
Or we would need to set up a "master" pmadb in which settings are stored to follow users everywhere (which might stray too much from our current mechanism).
I was thinking about using HTML 5 storage for that (user would be asked about importing settings), but I have yet to see whether it will work - I have never used this API and I don't want to show any browser warnings without user doing anything that would warrant it.
