Prompt to verify leave page

[Guest]

There have been several instances where I have been typing a really long forum post, then had my browser go back a page because I managed to accidentally deselect the text box then press my backspace key. This has infuriated me several times and lost me several paragraphs of typing.

 

If you guys could incorporate some sort of prompt when a user tries to navigate away from a page while there is text in an active box that would be fantastic.

I agree we should have one, but only when you're typing.

 

Putting it in the index and every page would be annoying

I can understand this kind of problem, as it has happened to me several times already. The automatic function that saves text may not always help retrieve lost paragraphs, as it saves every five minutes or so.

 

Sure, implementing this notification would be very helpful.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who is running into issues! This constantly infuriates me and I now type all of my posts in a document then copy-paste it after I've finished writing.

The already-existing auto-save feature on posts that already exists should stop the bulk of the problems you are facing.

It has never caught any of my posts that I've made in the history of ever here.
