Using Maturity Settings between Viewer versions

If you have downloaded the latest Viewer and have changed your maturity rating, that rating will stay set if you change to a previous Viewer version, such as 1.22. If you want to change the setting again, you need to use the latest Viewer 1.23 or higher.
