In summary, the conversation discusses issues with collapsing and expanding categories not being sticky between logoff and login, and difficulties with the display of category tool graphics on different browsers and devices. The issue with the collapsing/expanding categories not being sticky is being looked into, and the opacity of the toggles has been adjusted, but there is still noticeable issues with the display of the graphics.

Hey there Greg,

I'm pruning some items off of my observation list to post now. All apply to home page categories - I don't think any have been reported yet, and hoping I'm posting this timely to 'compartmentalize' for everyone.

Easy one?: Collapsing/expanding categories aren't sticky between logoff/login. I've tried different browsers ("Yep", cookies are allowed), and am unable to keep any category collapsed between sessions.

Category Tool graphics:
1) Desktop Windows/IE11: The tool images are barely visible due to foreground/background:

2) Android tablet TFT700T/Opera Classic: The tool images do not display at all. If I press where I know they should be, I can see a dotted highlight rectangle. The rect is tall enough, but it's only maybe 10 or 12 pixels wide - too narrow for what should be displayed:

I turned up the opacity of the toggles. I can confirm they don't stick. I'll have to find out why.

O.K. I can't say there's much of a difference. I closed/opened IE11, and then tried Chrome. I'm expecting at least a two-tone of alpha-blended white/black. I see the dark stuff, but no highlighting to 'set it off':
