Template variables keep changing to default?

I noticed that if I change the template variables in the Templates/Portfolio view (either in the code directly or in the template preview/editor), those variables will change back to default at some point in the future. I didn't measure exactly how long does it take to go back to the default, but basically every time I go back to my website and check it, the variables are default. I can instantly see it cause the main variable I'm trying to change is the "Thumbnail size". Here's my website: https://lotafak.blot.im/ Please advise! Thank you

Restart your subscription option?

I (regrettably!!) clicked to cancel my subscription while looking at other website options, but decided ultimately to stay on Blot. However, when I try to click 'restart my subscription', it doesn't load anything or go anywhere. Is this an issue with Blot itself or on my end?

Using Android with git?

Hi everyone. Curious how people use git syncing with Android. There is no working copy app on android. I found an app called git sync on the play store and I could use termux I guess. Now I use dropbox and its very easy to publish blog posts. If I were on iOS it would be pretty easy to switch. Thanks for any pointers. BTW, I just use Markor the markdown text app to write with these days.

Using drafts folder while syncing via Git?

The title kind of asks the question. I am not a big enough Dropbox user where I have the app on my Mac, so I update all via Git. It works great, outside of the drafts feature. Right now I push a commit and then a minute later I will just do a pull request to get the preview. Is this the best practice to be able to preview or is there a better way?

Citation Questions

As long as my posts were in the root directory of my site along with the .bib file used, all was well. After moving them into /Posts, the Bibliography: metadata unchanged, the two do not seem to be assoicated anymore. It works well on the individual entry page, but no longer on the index page. Which I don't mind as much, but it's still strange. Additionally, do you have a documentation somewhere, which CSL are installed and which value to set with the metadata field to get, say, AMA style?
