As per our /about page, we have 20,000 members.

I will clarify that the steps are as follows:

1. Visit /admin/site\_settings/category/all\_results?filter=default\_composition\_mode
2. Set default\_composition\_mode to Markdown mode. Even when it’s already in Markdown mode, you can open the dropdown and select the Markdown option.
3. Get the warning for XX number of users. Accept it.
4. Wait ten minutes, and then reload the page.
5. Set default\_composition\_mode to Markdown mode (same as step 2).
6. Again, get the warning for the same number of users.

As you mentioned, I also don’t know how long it takes (over 10 minutes?) to update the historical user preferences. Also, I don’t think all those users would have updated their preferences back in just that time. I could be missing something here.
