I'm always asked to opt in here

Multiple times a day, every time I open a new window for forums.developer.apple.com, if I'm signed in, it asks me if I want to opt in to notifications. Even if I click on the opt in button. I've just reproduced it five times in a row here.

What is going on?

The canonical entry point for DevForums is https://developer.apple.com/forums. If you start out at https://forums.developer.apple.com you will encounter weird problems. DevForums really should redirect the latter to the former (r. 132309185).

Unfortunately there are a lot of forums.developer.apple.com URLs out there in the wild. When I get them I remove the forums. prefix by hand and things go a lot more smoothly.

I get the same behaviour using https://developer.apple.com/forums -- just repeated several times in a row, by logging in in this window, then opening a new window and pasting https://developer.apple.com/forums into the address bar.

So that's not it.

OK.

Last I checked this setting was stored locally in one of the website local data stores (Local Storage IIRC). Are you sure your browser is preserving that?

I've no idea why it wouldn't. It's Safari. I even (just now) turned off content blockers for this site, and it still does this. How would I figure that out?

(I have a couple of ad blockers, TamperMonkey, and 1Password as installed & active extensions.)

How would I figure that out?

With web inspector.

Which is beyond my (current, at least) capabilities. sigh.
