Autosave

Is it possible to have some kind of autosave on a Zetaboards forum?

I lose my posts on a daily basis (usually happens 4 or 5 times on a day like this) when something I don't really get happens. I press something on the keyboard. Anyway, would be good if when it happens I can click on a button to get what I wrote back, because it's really annoying when you've typed out a long post. Seen it elsewhere, don't know if it can be done on Zetaboards.

I wish I knew.

I tried experimenting with a few cominations of buttons but I couldn't make it happen. I'm scared it's going to happen now....

I know Stormoverload has had it happen too.

Happens to me as well, maybe because you pressed backspace?

No. It happens when I'm typing, so backspace shouldn't do it.

Also, backspace should just make me go back a page, so then I could click forwards and get my post back.
Instead what happens to my screen is it refreshes, and also my back/forward button isn't highlighted....so it's like it opened an entirely new window in the place of the original one. It's not a normal refresh though, because I can't press back any more, and I didn't go near F5.

What browser do you use?

While there isn't an addon that I know of that wouldn't be quite load intensive (having to save all your writing etc server side), there is a few browser addons which will do it for you which work fantastically.

There's a code I know of that asks you before leaving a page (or in this case "refreshing") if you have something typed up. It's quite useful.

It should. If it doesn't, then I'd say you have a weird problem on your hands.

the auto save function is useful when typing, i hate it to. Had it happen more than 5 or 6 times.

5 or 6 times in a day? Or in history?

Because for me if I'm not extra careful it's in a day. If I'm careful just 3 or 4 times. Worst thing is when you type out like 500 words and lose it all. And then you retype it....and lose it again....that's when it's just gone too far.

it actually happens alot more than that. I just never complained about it.

sometimes i wont even know WHAT button i even hit and can lose either the paragraph itself or have it be gone when the page refreshes.

sometimes i get lucky and can use the backbutton to recover.

Nevermind my IE pref. i actually use chrome on a daily. The IE is fail. Just havent changed it.
