Page Settings are not applying to newly created pages

So I got on today to make some new pages for my game to add some maps in. I pushed the Create New Page button and a new page pops up just like normal. However, the new page is at the default roll20 settings and not the game settings that I have saved on the game settings page. I downloaded and installed Firefox just to see if it was some thing with Chrome and the same thing happens in Firefox. I cleared my memory cache as well and nothing changes. I don't think it's browser extensions because I did a fresh install of Firefox just to test this, I haven't used Firefox since Chrome first came out and have never had it on this computer and did not import any settings into it when it asked, so it should not have had anything like extensions to interfere with Roll20. The page settings I have set up for the game are not being applied. This worked fine last week. I opened different games and checked them and they are also having this problem. I like to default the background to black and wish it did this automatically with dark mode. The first two images are what the new pages are coming up as. The second two are what the settings under game settings are set as and have been set as for months now. I don't know why the settings are not being applied to new pages.

I can confirm this behavior. At first I thought it might be because the new defaults were not being applied in-game, but I went through Apply Default Settings: And although it changed the settings of the current page, new pages were still all gray grid on white background. I would suggest filing a  Help Center Request  to report this bug, and I shall do likewise.
Thanks for pointing this out, we've confirmed this bug and are tracking it. I did want to followup, for me setting the Default Settings in the Game Settings, and then making a new page, the new page isn't getting those default settings (bug). However, the Apply Default Settings thing does seem to be working for me -- just noting, there's a little progress bar at the top you have to wait for it to finish otherwise if you close the dialog box too early it may only apply the settings to some of the pages. Can you let me know if that solves that part of it for you all? If not I can dig further. But at least in the test I did it was working.
Yeah the apply default settings button does work, but I don't necessarily want the defaults I set up on every page. For instance I have a map page that I tend to leave the characters on when we are not doing actual combat and I don't want to have to go back and turn off lighting on that page every time I add a new page.
Admittedly it's a faster work around than setting up the new page every time, but this wasn't a problem a week or so ago so I hoping they fix it.
Sure just to be clear, the bug with the Default Settings not being applied to new pages in the first place is definitely not something that should be happening and we will fix it, just wanted to make sure we didn't need to fix something else too :-) Thank you!

To clarify my report above: Applying default settings in-game changes the current page to match, but does not change the default for subsequent newly-created pages.
This should be fixed now. Thanks for the report!
