1. This still needs a bit of work

The filter remembers some settings on some pages but not on others, so we need to get that consistent. As for the reset link, I think it's important to notify people that they have changed their view of the page from the default view. I've even had issues with this myself in the past -- I'd change the "Relevance" setting to "Political" instead of "All," and then come back later and be confused about where all the Lounge threads went before I remembered that I'd changed the setting. This issue is an even bigger problem on DU3 mobile, where the filter does not appear at all so it's easy to forget that you changed something.

So the way it SHOULD work is that the first time you change the filter, the "Showing custom selection" is bright red, so you're made aware that you changed something and you're not looking at the default view. If that's your intention though, and you want to keep it that way, on subsequent reloads the bright red background goes away -- but the text remains, so that you don't forget you changed the filter.
