howl Do you think I do things for the fun of it?

The settings used to be saved in a stupid way, with a pipe-delimited string, e.g.

1|2|3|4|5

This was hard to maintain, and practically possible to ever remove or reorder settings. They are now saved separately in the database so reordering and deleting settings is now possible.
It's one of the many changes I have to make in the back-end of MCNR that nobody ever sees, and usually the effects are unnoticable, however sometimes I have to reset things.

I could have written code to convert the old settings to the new format, however the chance of there being bugs in such code mean it's not worth it. It's not like people have lost stats/progress, only a couple of settings.....

I guess you have a point, sorry for misunderstanding you
