Not saving text

[Oldman]

On numerous occasions lately I have been unable to save the information I had written. It just would save. Furthermore when log out and back I again the txt does not appear for acceptance or deletion. Can you explain why?

Unfortunately not, as I do not understand what you are reffering to, or what process you are having issues with.

Where are you writing this text, how would you be expecting to save it, and where would you expect it to be available for acceptance or deletion after relogging in?

I suspect that what the OP is referring to, is the way the forum software should save any text that is typed into the reply field before it is posted. 

 

In the past I've clicked reply to a thread to discover that I started typing something several days ago but never finished it. Of course by then the discussion has moved on so my original unfinished reply is of little use any more.

 

From my own usage I would imagine that the retention of un-posted replies is linked to forum cookies. It is also dependant on the device it is typed on and not uploaded to the Basschat servers as an unfinished reply typed on one device will not appear on another.

Ah yes, this is true, the text you type in a normal reply box is saved by your browser and has nothing to do with the forum (specifically), other than the ID of the post you are replying to.

On my machine they are contained within a database in my user profile area, this is on a PC, but it is browser and OS dependant.

It must have something to do with the forum software, because Basschat is the only forum which enables this feature in my browser.
