As a user, I can change my email preference, not see a Save button (despite them being at the top & bottom of the page) and navigate away from the Preferences page with no warning that my preferences weren’t saved.

Not sure if they should auto-save, or have the same green/red boxes we have on the admin/settings.. or just warn them that settings weren’t saved…
