When i visit some news pages..

[game_over]

I get this message:

 

The website ? is requesting 50 MB of disk space to store ?Circle Management? as a database on your disk.

 

Safari

Hmm after a quick Google search I found this http://www.justanswer.com/mac-computers/5mgrz-hello-google-last-several-days-keep-asking.html seems like an odd message though. Neowin pages are typically no more than a couple mb (including media) and that might include caching for YouTube videos, so 3rd party content too.

At first I assumed it was a rogue advertisement or something but realised i can't see any advertisements as they are blocked automatically on the network i am behind.

If Steve's link is correct then it seems to be specific to Safari. Have you tried following the advice from that website?

 

To resolve the issue, open safari. Then Edit -> Preferences

On the preferences window increase the size for Default Database Storage

Do you still receive the error message afterwards, even when increasing the default database storage size to something like 100MB?

I have no idea what Circle Management is (I tried Googling it too).

It seems to be related to the social javascript...

<!-- // Social JS -->

Seems this initiates a database to store social data.

 

Found in jsapi_database.js:

PlusDB.prototype.open = function() {
  // 10MB should fit around 100K otherwise would take time to expand array.
  var db_size = 10 * 1024 * 1024;
  this.db = openDatabase('Circle Management' + this.dbPostfix, '1.0', 'circle-manager', db_size);
  this.initializeEntities();
};

Ahh i get it now, Google Plus circles.. still annoying though.

Can't see any option to increase the database size in safari? Didn't expect anything less from justanswer.com, unless i'm going blind.

Ah this is something that Redmak is working on. Will make sure he's aware of this thread. (y)
