Lost All Post Progress

[The Mechanist]

The draft system is in place. Its always saving based on your browser, just like the last editor did. If its not there, its because something is wrong with your browser's caching. 


I have backed, deleted, closed and even purposely crashed my browser and as long as I return to the same location where I was typing, the content is there.

Oh, well then I guess it was her computer messing up then, I personally never use the draft system, I write everything on a word document first and then copy and paste it over.

If you finish and press to post, when the website is down, it's instant loss. IDK why, but even your draft get's gone!


So I suggest that if you're going to rely on the draft system, leave another tab open and refresh it before submiting the post. Just to make sure the site isn't down or in maintenance. If it turns out it's down, do copy and paste it somewhere else until it's back >.<


The one and only time I lost a draft, it was the site crashing on me the moment I pressed submit.


Also, obvious but, don't click the desktop notifications from RPN if there is something vital in one of the tabs. Clicking it causes it to open on ONE of the tabs, but I don't have a way to pinpoint which... Once it opened the page on top of an WIP CS and all my changes were gone when I came back to it : O


I guess those are my losing post experiences so far XDD

I'm the girlfriend xD  lol


Okay, so when the issue happened I was in private workshop and was in the process of editing a post when I accidentally exited out of that tab on my laptop. So does it work even when you're editing?

It should yes.


But to be honest, the draft system, regardless of which forum software we use has never been the best.

I have an idea, @The Dark Wizard. How about you have this banner that appears while writing a post (that can be disabled) maybe in the toolbar reminding people to check another tab to make sure they're logged in?
