Game Analysis Settings

Every time I analyze a game I have to change the settings.  It would be nice if the settings saved so I wouldn't always have to change them each time I want to analyze a game.  Not sure if this is normal or perhaps I'm the only one experiencing this.

Does anyone know what the difference is between selecting 5 minutes (depth=24+) compared to Unlimited?  And also, 1 vs 5 engine lines?

These are the default settings I get every time I analyze a game.

These are the settings I have to change them to every time I analyze a game.

That is weird. I do not have this issue. Do you have your browser set to clear your cache whenever you close your browser?

I too do not have to reset. It remembers my 5 minute, 5 line settings.

@jdcannon  Thanks for the advice.  I do habitually clear my browser cache manually (using a free program called CCleaner).  I used to do it once in a while years ago, and it's turned into some sort of semi-addiction, which I should actively work on adjusting.

I just tried changing the analysis settings and signing out and back in chess.com to check if they saved and they did.  I think you are correct, that by clearing the browser cache it resets these settings.  Which is odd to be because all other settings on chess.com save successfully and this is the first time I've encountered a situation where I have to reset settings default to my preference after clearing browser cache.

I appreciate your fast feedback.  Helps to find a solution to the problem asap, rather than dwelling on it and wondering what I could possibly be doing wrong.

I used to use CCleaner as well. I probably still should. 

@jdcannon  With the Internet become more and more widely used and sites like Facebook and Google making lots of money off ad revenue, especially Facebook, that's their main source of income, they heavily relay on tracking people's user habits online.  And depending on your computer specs, this could really slow things down when browsing the Internet.

I look at it as preventative computer maintenance.  Imagine if you're driving your car and you never ever change the oil, or swap out the cabin air filter, never wash the outside or inside of the car once in a while.  Over time, the performance of the car will start to suffer.  Tracking cookies, if built up enough could really start clogging your computer's overall performance.  But that's more noticeable with older computers, with less RAM, possibly a main HDD instead of an SSD, etc.

Several times I have thought about paying for the Pro CCleaner version, but the main difference between the free and paid versions is the Pro will clean the cache of browsers automatically.  And it updates itself, which the free version normally tells you when there's an update anyways, so it's kind of pointless to pay.

I torrent a lot of music, movies, TV shows, so I use it a lot.  I would say most regular users would probably benefit from using it once a month or so.  The copyright act in Canada is a maximum penalty of $5,000 for torrenting.  Whether you have 1 file or 10,000 files, it's still capped at $5,000.

Whereas in the United States, I think they can fine you a ridiculous amount for each individual file.  I remember years ago they sued a woman $250,000 for downloading "The Hulk".  Absolutely stupid.  Poor woman.
