I can't seem to add any more user notes. I can see the ones I already had but if I enter a new note and refresh the page, I don't see any changes.

Relatedly, I pressed "Backup Synced User Notes locally" but I don't know where it actually gets stored :(.

Yep that was it, thanks.

Do you know if it's possible to hand delete user notes to get it back under the limit?

I didn't even know I had so many. Most of them are probably dumb and worth getting rid of.

If you could point me to where the notes would be stored on my computer as well as the format/code used to generate them, I could look at decoding them if I'm bored or something.

Forgot to mention, I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.

The link retains its behavior as a link, just clicking it does nothing. But reloading fixes it, yeah. Like I said, a minor issue.

I remember this didn't happen until relatively recently. Is this due to something in a Firefox update?

On Firefox, they're under stored as JSON in the browser's local storage for the extension with the key "userNotesLocal". I think they get synced to your Firefox account, but a dev would know better.

While I'm bumping the thread, sometimes I can't add a note to someone, especially if the webpage has been open for more than 10 seconds. The "Ok" and "Delete" buttons just don't work at all. Is there a fix? Just refreshing as a workaround.

That sounds related to something pointed out earlier:

Guessing that's a caching or forward/back thing; hitting 'reload' ought to restore its functionality.

I haven't heard of any solution besides refreshing.

This also happens to me almost every time i try to add or edit or delete a note. It seems to be related to having the page open longer than 5 - 10 seconds before I interact with the user note stuff. I dislike it. Is refreshing really the only solution?

I open the single post in a new tab using the "1" button under the user's av, then quickly edit the note. But yeah, I'm also wondering if there's a fix since it's been this way for quite a while now.

Minor issue, on Firefox the User CP "Open updated threads" link dies if you leave the tab for a while.

looks like this has been finally fixed, thanks!
