Restore "auto-saved content". WOW

I just discovered this. I noticed the forum software was "auto saving" my posts once a minute as I was writing them. Have you ever written a long post, spaced out and forgot to hit "submit" and surfed on? Your contribution disappears right and you have to start over? How many times have I done this? Oftentimes I just considered it the will of god and moved on-the universe was telling me to shut-the-f**k-up. Not in the new software. Simply go back to where you were> reply>go to advanced. On the bottom left corner of the advanced post grey "boundary box" is a button that says Restore Auto-Saved Content". Walah!!!! Your glorious verbiage reappears.

Good to know! Thanks!

Now if I could just recover someone else's words of wisdom rather than my own, that would be a great feature.

this should be a sticky. second time it has saved my ass.

bumping it.

Good idea.

Cool feature but let's keep religion out of it. Wouldn't want self-banning or flagellation of the moderators next. :p

This is a very useful feature.

I was lucky enough to discover this during my holiday in Egypt when 3 times in a row I lost what I was tapping in on the ipad, I was just about to throw the ipad at the wall when I saw the auto restore button, pressed button, breathe slow, then all was good.

It is the savior of brain dead old farts

We have so many things to worry about, one less the better.

I actually discovered this feature early on.

Too bad for you guys.
