Suggestion Preserve text when accidentally leaving the page.

[vainglory]

I don't know how to better explain what I'm looking for, but in every other forum site I've been to, if you accidentally go back to a previous page or load a new page by mistake, you can simply go forward or back and the text you had already written in the textbox will still be there. Twice now, I've lost finished posts because I made the mistake of writing them in the actual reply box and not off-site, then hit backspace when I thought I was in the post only to find out, quite painfully, that I wasn't.

I actually thought preserving text was a feature of Google Chrome, but maybe it's not and it has to be implemented by the site, but does anyone know why it doesn't work that way here? If I leave the page, even if I've previewed something, there is no saved instance of it at all.

We do have a "save draft" function. It's not always 100% but there is also a button you can click to manually "save draft" which may help against this. Thus far I've personally not lost a draft in a while. If you are running something as incognito mode I don't think the site will save an in-progress draft unless you manually save it.

There's no save draft button on mobile, right?

Thanks, I didn't see that feature before. I'll see if that helps things any.
