    Ok, I was thinking, especially for newbie's, cause you can't post every 3 mins for newb's, they sometime's forget that and they post and it say's, not allowed to post, and the newbie click's back. All there post is gone, Is there anyway where afterdawn could save the post. Especially when You post something so long as a guide and it says page cannot be displayed (god who knows why) and you press back and all your work's gone. That happen to me lol. I'd really like this feature to come to the Afterdawn Forums

    Well im with Ireland on this one. When i was a newbie i had the same problem with sever timeout and all that... soo i just figured that i would write my post highlight and copy my post just in case the server stuffed up...

    While it might be nice to have an auto save function for new folks it would be less complicated wouldn't it if a pop-up indicated the new folk hadn't waited long enough?

    It is also a good idea to think of a new folk on the forum as possibly a new folk on computers in general and the Internet. Not everyone was lucky enough to start with a TRASH-80. Making life a bit easier for a new folk trying to figure out the Net and navigate through what must appear a maze to them might just net you a lifelong friend and/or customer, pun intended.

    Just a thought, folks. Just a thought.
