Comic vine should seriously think about creating a comment saving system where your messages and replies get automatically saved after a certain amount of time spent in the comment box (similar to e-mail). I can't even tell you how many times I've typed out hour long messages and then I post it and the freaking website eats my comment... It's very annoying and I know that a lot of people experience this problem. It doesn't happen frequently, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be something worth looking into.

End rant.

@noone301994: I agree, or make it like Microsoft Word, you can save the Long Comment's to you're H drive so you can use them in other debates or in a CaV.

@unrelenting: I tend to write a lot of long comments so it'd be a pain for me to manually copy and paste all the time.

@thor_parker82: It is a good idea, Saren and I, as well as other moderators however do not implement or get much say or what new features are implemented though in this regard, sorry.

As someone who often makes very long posts however, this would be very cool to me. Though I imagine its not seen as something that would be high priority to add.

@noone301994: @sc: @thor_parker82: @speedster101: as SC said we have nothing to do with features but spread the word there is a work around if you are using Chrome, install Formalizr, it will save all text typed in the forum as you type it automatically and if something happens it will be stored by your browser so that you can restore it, the degree that it will store things can be configured but I suggest you all try it out and spread the word.

It is fairly easy to use but I guess I can explain it if anyone needs more info.

oh and this extension could react badly in the wiki so if any of you are wiki editors I suggest you not attempt to restore anything in the wiki as it could overwrite wiki pages with incomplete or incorrect data.

Agreed, Testyourmight has a similar feature, where after a certain amount of characters typed or time the text will stay in the little typing box until you erase it or submit it, its really helpful and sometimes comments don't show up here so it would be an excellent feature to have.
