> If that is happening I would move the AJAX request to a 'local storage save is missing' condition, not 'on start of layout'. So the flow is only to check if your save exists, if it doesn't then load those default values and if it does then load the save data.
You, my friend, are a godsend. This worked perfectly! It's always the littlest of things give you the biggest hiccups, I swear. Thanks Lionz!! After hours spent finagling my local storage issues, you made my day!
Nice, that's good :) It was a challenge to work it out from just the screenshot.
