We’ve noticed a load of comments recently about games not saving: the main culprits are Jumpers for Goalposts 4 and Ultimate Football Management.

So if your Jumpers for Goalposts 4 won’t save, then read this:
First of all, the games do save automatically.
However, they’re also a bit different to our other games. Both Ultimate Football Management and Jumpers for Goalposts 4 save a lot of data – club records, team data, player changes, your stats – all sorts.
Flash needs permission to save plenty of stuff locally. If you’re not set up to allow this to happen, or you allow less than we need, our games ask to save and your computer says no. You need to set your computer to say yes to Mousebreaker.
Here’s how it’s done. Bear in mind, if you’re in an office, school or don’t have an administrator account where you don’t control this stuff, you might not be able to change it.
Flash storage settings are fixed in two places. One for the site as a whole, and one for each game. We’re going to do both here. First, the site as a whole.
1) Go here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
2) Find Mousebreaker in the list of sites, and move the slider all the way over to unlimited as so:

Next, you need to set it up for the games you’re having trouble with. So, if it’s Jumpers for Goalposts 4…
1) Go to Jumpers for Goalposts 4
2) Right click on the game window, and click settings
3) Go to the third tab on the selection, with a little folder icon
4) Move the local storage slider all the way over to ‘unlimited’

If that doesn’t fix it, there’s a few other possible causes:
1) You have deleted your cookies – your browser may be set up to delete cookies every time it closes. This may lose your saves!
2) You’re in private browsing mode
3) You’re on a shared computer that doesn’t allow you to save data locally
