save not importing correctly

[Former user]

Riimu's Cookie Clicker Optimizer will not load my save because it says it is an "invalid save string." I am playing Cookie Clicker version 1.0393. Is there a way to fix this.

"Invalid save string" error is caused when the save string does not appear to be base64 encoded. Are you sure you pasted the correct string? Unless you provide me with the save file you we trying to import, there is little help I can provide.

After a second look at the import code, I noticed a small possible bug in the import code, due to javascript's handling of '+' character in url encoding. Without a save string, I can't verify if this was the case with you, but I'm going to assume that this issue has now been resolved.
