hiding the red flash when injured. and changes made in Q menu won't save.

[Kegan]

Afternoon people, I have two quick questions for you guys:

The first being how do you hide that red flash when your character gets injured? If there is a way that is.

The second being a minor annoyance that's been happening since Gmod updated, now after I make a few tweaks in the Q menu, such as collapsing the toolbars and toning down that friggin' bloom, the changes aren't saved, now it's not obviously game breaking or anything, but if there's a way to fix that I'd be really grateful.

Thanks again guys.
