Forum posting "improvements"

Hi,

Again one of my post/thread is gone lost! :(

.... I have catched the reason, this time: my inadvertence! :wacko:

As I said it's not first time, I type/edit a post, then press "PREVIEW CHANGES", examine the way post looks, go after some last changes, press again "PREVIEW CHANGES", at that point leave without saving!!!! :bonk:

... It's the same field of oddity as when we press Next turn instead of Save turn playing a scenario..... but such things happens, not only to me, I hope.

So, the suggestion, quite obvious: ADDING A SMALL PUP UP WINDOWN ADVERTISING YOU ARE LEAVING WITHOUT HAVING SAVED CHANGES!

May be an improvement for next time Forum goes to maintenence?

..... please, let me know such a thing happed to you too! :blink:

Sorry Jasta. As far as I know, vBulletin (the forum software we use) doesn't have functionality for this, and we won't start hacking/modifying the forum software on our own; waaay too many ways to mess things up if we do ;)

Can't speak for others, but I honestly can't remember having that problem. But then again, I've written posts that have gone through as much as 10 or 15 iterations of previews before being posted; I just use the feature for what it is worth ;)
