A couple of suggestions

Hello. I want to suggest to useful features to the forum. Both are about post editing.

I often make a long post and must go when I didnt even reach the middle, so I have three options:
* Restart later
* Keep my PC on (or suspend it)
* Copy it, open notepad, paste it, save it and select the dir.

I think restarting is the worst solution because I can be forced to restart so many times.
Keeping my PC on isn't too bad, but it wastes electricity.
Third option takes me some minutes, so I must plan it.

So, my first suggestion is to save a post as TO-DO and keep it private.




Did you browse through forums and see so many "******'s programs" posts? This would be better with a hidden posts system, so people can make, for example, a thread for a WIP program, and it doesn't annoy because link is placed by the user (in his profile, signature…)

Neither of these are going to happen.

Truth be told, the boards already do the first. Even if you log on using an entirely different computer, if you go back to the posting box in the thread you'd been typing into, you get an offer to carry on from the auto-saved post.

This is why you keep on seeing "last auto saved:" messages appearing down the bottom of the quick-reply box.

This is something you need to send to IP Board if you want any of this to be added
