**Environment**

> **[Drowned in Sound | Community](https://community.drownedinsound.com)**
>
> For discussion about music, life and everything in between.

**Steps To Reproduce**

1. Set [Interface Theme](https://community.drownedinsound.com/u/user/preferences/interface) to non-default value (e.g. Grey Skull)
2. Save change.
3. Set Interface Theme to Default.
4. Save change.
5. Navigate elsewhere / refresh.

**Expected Results**

The new screen loads / the existing screen refreshes and the theme remains as default.

**Actual Results**

The theme reverts to whichever value it previously has.

**Additional information**

Recently the site was changed such that there were additional themes added. This bug seems to have started around this time, but that’s just anecdotally, I couldn’t say for certain. I’m not sure if this is happening with other boards, but has been reproduced for multiple users including my own on Drowned In Sound. This is currently being discussed on those boards in [this thread](https://community.drownedinsound.com/t/dark-mode/28144/19).
