Change to backup post functionality * 4
    #27929947 - 09/02/22 12:51 AM (1 year, 4 months ago)

People may be familiar with the "How often to backup posts?" setting under basic preferences. This setting saves what you type when you're composing a post or private message, and if you accidentally leave the page, the text will be waiting for you when you come back.

I've made a change to how this functionality works. It now stores message drafts in your browser's local storage instead of on our server. This means that it can save drafts instantly as you type, and it will continue to work even if you lose your internet connection. The setting has been renamed to "How long to keep drafts of unsent posts and private messages?" and the default is 60 minutes. The one change for the worse is that the backups are only stored in your current browser, so if you switch browsers or computers, your post backups won't follow you anymore. Otherwise, I think it should be an improvement all-around. Please let me know if you notice any problems!

I'm curious if any changes need to be made to browser settings. For example, I have 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' plus other privacy settings set, as well as a couple of privacy addons. Would I need to make an exception for shroomery.org?

Good question. Yes, if you'd like the post backups to persist even when your browser is closed, you'll want to add an exception for www.shroomery.org.

I don't know if this is a product of the new functionality or a whole different bug, but for the last few days, when I reply to a PM and the other person replies to my PM, the reply box for the second reply will be prepopulated with my previous reply, forcing me to delete it before typing.

Thanks, good catch. I tracked that down and it should be fixed now but please let me know if you still notice any problems.
