larkim Jul 2024 9:46am, 15 Jul 2024 25,120 posts	Quote Pin larkim Must admit I'm not a fan of the text box retaining your last post text. Maybe it's just me; I can see the advantage of it storing drafts which you forgot to post, but each time I'm returning to a thread there is prepopulated text even if I had in fact posted the inane dribble that I've prepared.
fetcheveryone Jul 2024 9:47am, 15 Jul 2024 30,836 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone It's a bug. The system has worked correctly about 25,000 times, but failed to wipe the stored draft about 80 times. I'm trying to figure out what's happening. I think it's a 'race condition' situation: en.wikipedia.org
Lip Gloss Jul 2024 9:50am, 15 Jul 2024 76,668 posts	Quote Pin Lip Gloss Ah I thought it was just me. It only happened on one thread but it was beginning to get on my nerves 😂😂😂

fetcheveryone Jul 2024 10:11am, 15 Jul 2024 30,837 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone I've done some tuning. It only bothers making a backup now if you've typed at least 50 characters (any less and I figure it's not such a hardship to re-type - this was brought in to save people from losing long posts); and it only performs a backup once every 30 seconds (was previously 15). And I've added some extra beef to the 'clear my draft' code that gets executed when you submit your post.
