Title: AUTO-SAVE feature in the post you are writing Post by: ajax3592 on December 28, 2013, 12:24:22 PM God-dammit I've many lost essay long posts because I hit F5 by mistake.
Can we please incorporate something by which a post that you are writing auto-saves, like it happens in gmail while writing a mail. If you too have faced this issue, vote if you want this feature.

I made a thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=377148.0

How do you keep hitting f5 by mistake? It's the time limit that usually shafts me.

Or Simple Form Recovery for chrome. Haven't tested them but give them a try.

However, some don't. If you are really that concerned you can always copy and paste it on a notepad.

It runs quietly in the background and keeps all your ctrl+v stuff. If you manage to hit f5 by mistake , you'll close that notepad also.

It will not clear anything that you have on notepad, libreoffice or word. It's always good to keep a copy of anything which has taken a long time anyway.

I already said that hitting the f5 by mistake sounds a bit weird. So I can safely assume he might have a problem with clicking the wrong minimize/close button with the mouse too :).

I'll add it to bitcointalk.org. With HTML5 storage I think it's doable rather easily (my script uses greasemonkey's storage functions instead of HTML5) I can do it if you want me to, it shouldn't take long Title: Re: AUTO-SAVE feature in the post you are writing Post by: whiskers75 on January 04, 2014, 07:08:38 AM I don't want to look like I'm advertising but my userscript BitcoinTalk++ now saves the content of the textbox and can resurrect the last one Can this be made into portable JS without any additional JS libraries?
