You can only save 5MB of settings to Local Storage

[Tsuyuri]

I usually add my own mascots using 'Add Mascot' but this time, it only saved the first one I added.
When I try to add another one, it doesn't show up in the mascot menu even though it confirmed that the mascot was saved.

Do you have any categories hidden?

On a related issue, I can't import Mascots without getting an error.

[Tsuyuri]

No, categories aren't hidden.

you might have run out of local storage if you imported the image rather than hosting it somewhere. Firefox limits it to like 5mb

[seaweedchan]

Firefox can use up to 50 MB of local storage but it should ask for permission.

Firefox has a soft limit of 5MB, and apparently a hard one of 50MB. Chrome's limit is a hard limit of 5MB, unless you're using TamperMonkey, from what I hear. Opera has no limit that I know of and allocates memory as it's needed.

I tried to import the image from a website but it still doesn't work.
Also, whenever I change something in the mascot tab, like hiding a categories, it doesn't save changes.

Are you importing or are you adding?

Adding. I tried importing and I get this error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character

[zixaphir]

When you try to add a mascot, does it throw any errors in the JS console?

[Tsuyuri]

Yes, it does.

[zixaphir]

What are they? :3

I get: Persistent storage maximum size reached

In firefox, you'll have to go into about:config and change dom.storage.default_quota

Default is 5120, which means you're storing 5MB of mascots. You can also upload your mascots to a site like Minus or imgur to decrease the storage-per-mascot required, as opposed to using the internal upload tool.

In chrome, this limit can be bypassed by using TamperMonkey, I think. Chrome has it's own weird policies for Extension Storage. http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/storage#properties

Opera doesn't have a hard-cap. Opera follows Chrome's policies.
