Modern community software (like the one I am building for free) can save your content automatically.   A few times I have accidentally closed a window while making a post - once I reopen the tab the content gets restored automatically.



While the "token ring" of bitcoin forums uses software too old to do this, PowerGlove could make a javascript change that every xx keystrokes it saves to a cookie... or maybe not - I'm not familiar with modern browser security.

(Token Ring is an obsolete network communication protocol, comparable to modern Ethernet or WiFi.   It the forum needed to be described in a way to describe its limitations, I'd say that's a good analogy.   Posting is slow because the tokens cannot handle the amount of data.)

I noticed something recently  regarding the draft but I will like ask if the draft has a specific save to draft interval or all we have to do is click on the preview button everytime we need to save to draft.
If yes then can we have a lees time interval to accomplish this  , if a min interval would be better.
I recently lost a wall of texts due to sudden reload of the Web page, not sure what triggered it but I know it's unusual and I know there will be other members who had similar experiences, sometimes it could be an indelibrate reload of  a Web page.

yeah. Same here. Lost a whole write up and the inspiration gone. But then I have another issue, why is it that I can't send out of the draft? Like when I get to the draft after a preview or reload, it's been drafted. I was thinking it's gonna be something like a resend or send button there, but no. I feel like crying.

The system can send out of the draft (it wouldn't) but I think you are asking why it can't just automatically save what you are typing - I answered that above.    There is no minimum time interval - whenever you hit the preview button, it will save a draft. You jest need to remember to move from the keyboard to mouse every now and then to do itSad
