    That shouldn't happen. There's no settings in OW itself that would cause that. The only thing I can think of is that you're somehow clearing your cookies every time you close the window. That might be a chrome setting? I'm not sure. Are you in incognito mode or anything like that?

    I do have to clear cookies from time to time. My son also uses my computer, but I also use it for work so I clear cookies and websites so he doesn't accidentally pull up my work stuff. Turkmaster used to save the watches in it's own separate database that clearing cookies did not affect. I guess I assumed OW did something similar. But it apparently does not?

    It uses localStorage so clearing cookies will delete everything it saves.

    So with www pandas being gimped right now for whatever reason it might be a good idea to move overwatch over to www. I know that worker is faster ect but it might be better if that was possible for right now... until the meta of mturk changes again.

    I looked at the code and it looks like a decent amount of stuff would need to be changed to get it working on www but you prob would know better seeing as it is your baby. For now I'll just slow down overwatch a bunch and move hit finder beta (userscript version) over to www I guess.

    It would be a pretty big re-write, and based on how some of our scripters have been treated lately, I'm not holding my breath.

    For the muggles in the house, please expand on what you mean by "gimped."

    In the past I though WWW was 500? Msec ahead of Worker, so I had PC set up to use WWW.

    Much more recently I've seen claims that j-los work on Worker but not on WWW, and in fact this morning I switched PC over after getting shut out recently, and had a lot more success. But I couldn't swear that was the reason it happened, and if there's "science" here, I'd like to understand it instead of one-offs or speculation.

    I haven't been active here the last 3 days, so sorry if I missed a big discussion.

    For some reason www pandas aren't catching them like they used to. If the HIT was available, it would catch, but www only seems to catch if it's available on the MTurk platform view. So, like when you used to be able to catch it even if the site showed there were no hits, it isn't doing that anymore pretty much except for worker.

    Hey everybody, sorry for not being around much lately.
    WWW is a sinking ship imo and i just don't want to spend the time parsing through the html return data for something that isn't going to be very useful in the future, probably near future. If someone wanted to put in the work, and host a forked OW somewhere I'd be cool with that, but as far as i'm concerned, it wouldn't be worth the effort.

    so i think i saw all the tags. You just export then import your watchlist to clean up the localstorarge, and for that one RID breaking things, i'd use a partial name in that case, it'd be better than hoping they don't post again :p

    If it wasn't for rekogs dropping I would have dug into it deeper but I got it working again on a new profile on chrome. I was still having issues with adding new requesters at all but I'll debug it it when it isn't raining money.

    Purging it and restoring seems to have fixed it but dunno I'll keep an eye on it to make sure.

    @Ethraiel My OW isn't saving when I change the settings (interval and volume primarily). It worked as early as late last night, but not any right. When I inspect for errors it says - Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) and next to it says overwatch and hovering over it is the URL for overwatch. This comes underneath Your settings<object<object and Your watchlist<object.

    Any way to fix this? I already tried uninstalling and re-installing, but same thing still happening.

    Thanks for getting back to me. I tried a fresh export and still have the same error and no ability to save. To be sure, I also deleted related cookies so when I reloaded Overwatch it was empty, but still the same error. Worth noting that I can still add new requesters fine. Clicking import and export still works, it's just Save that doesn't appear to be working correctly.

    @GooseMcD , my current workaround (I like different settings for day, night, and weekend) is to alter the most recent Export I have saved in Notepad. For me, that just means changing the volume and search frequency settings. I can import fine and the settings change to what I want as if I was able to do it regularly and hit save. Not perfect, but at least it's something in the meantime.

    Yes!!!! Thank you! I didnt realise I could alter those things. My export/import still works fine. I just cant save settings. I just did it this way and it worked. That's better than what I had going on before. I'll do this until we can find out whats going on. <3
