it does for me.  it doesn't pull the appropriate scheme from the user's
preferences when you initially logged in, but it hasn't ever done that.
however, if you're using "remember me" and come back to the site after
choosing and saving a scheme it will use that scheme when displaying the
site.

anyway, it just took all of 30 seconds to fix this problem.

easily fixable.  fwiw, it was throwing that error before i worked on it as
well, it just wasn't prefaced with "app.".

anyway, i found the source of that particular problem and have fixed it.

precedent.  we've never really done it that way.  practically since the
beginning i've gone in and made performance enhancements where i've seen the
need.  why should i do it any different now?  this is all sort of confusing
to me though, didn't you already thank me for stepping in and working on it?

it's like anything, we need to test to find bugs.  i can't be expected to
find *every* possible one.  that's why we have a staging site to begin with.
if you find something, know what the problem is, and have time to fix it
then take care of it yourself.  if not, send a notice to me via thesite list
and i'll address it if i have time.  however, *don't* complain because i try
to help.  that's not too much to ask is it?

i don't want to upset anybody by reporting back that i fixed some code i
thought was causing performance issues, could be written smoother, was just
straight up sloppy, or whatever.  however, my urge to make the site perform
to its maximum outweighs this.  it's not like i'm trying to hide anything.
if anybody asks, i'm more than happy to talk about changes.  i'm just not
going to make it a point to go into detail about every little nuance that
was altered.

thanks,
