If the page refreshes like that, then that is just a really bad implementation. It can all be handled via AJAX without the page having to refresh.Having seen this implemented on WP, I have to disagree with this one. There's really no need for this. I wouldn't say it's 'resource intensive', but it can be annoying to deal with. I actually had to find a plugin to disable this for my WP blogs simply because I got tired of page refreshes interrupting my posts.

I'm really not 100% sure HOW they do this, but the way they do this, it's annoying when trying to draw up larger posts, because it simply 'refreshes' somehow. I haven't tried again in 3.0, but prior versions had this incredibly annoying feature that you had to have a custom plugin to disable.Doesn't WP use AJAX to cover this though?

WP does it in the background, and only alerts you that there was a draft saved if I remember correctly.
I am not clear what is going on. I don't see where I typed that in this thread, and I those words are uncharacteristic of me.Dean said: this feature is a long waited in vbulletin suggestion forum. never implemented although the blog system has it.

Yeah I suggested making use of LS though there needs to be a cookie-based fallback for incompatible browsers.
Liked.How many times have you had the misfortune of navigating out from a page where you were previously writing a long-ish post and had to start again?
Would it help you if your post was saved at intervals as a draft?
Yes, I fully support this. Sometimes my members loose their typed-in-text because they experience a server hickup when they press [Post]. I am known to have the tendency ... to write extensive amounts of text and I am always using Notepad next to my browser screen to manually save (copy and paste...) my contents when writing. An auto-save feature would solve all these problems once and for all.
It's not a new idea. I remember seeing that suggestion there before a while back to, as well as over at vB. It's definitely something that's been suggested for a variety of forum software.I think this should be implemented soon. Someone as IPS must have seen this, and it's coming in the next major update.
