Set Your Portlet Preferences via Edit Defaults Mode
Preferences as set to enable pages to have the same behavior for all users. When a page is displayed - preferences are accessed in the database for the user/page combination.

To add preferences - Click the Edit Defaults icon in the upper right corner of the any marvelit Portlet.
