For me, this problem arose about 15 minutes ago.
I was modding a map for a friend and my page froze, and reset itself, losing my very long and detailed mod in the process. I tried to quickly copy it before the webpage reset itself, but to no avail, my progress was lost. This frustrated me very much, and I thought, "Why isn't there a feature that saves what I write every 'x' amount of minutes to ensure my work isn't lost in case this happens again?" For people who like to make long mods like me, it would just have that extra security to make sure that all that hard work doesn't go to waste. I've seen it used on a lot of blog websites, and it would be useful here as well. It shouldn't be that hard to implement, and it would save people a lot of frustration.
Now I know what you're thinking. "Why don't you just save your draft every 15 minutes?"
Because I have the memory of a goldfish and can't be bothered to press a button occasionally.
For those who are like me, having this feature would be really nice.

Agreed, it would definitely be a useful feature since modding and long posts are common.

Guidelines to making a request (and what NOT to ask for):

  1. Make a thorough effort to search for related requests (using the search feature). If a similar request already exists, bump or post the thread with amendments to it. Also, check the changelog to see if a request is already in the test release.
  2. Don't request anything that has already been rejected unless you have a really good reason as to why it shouldn't have been rejected.
  3. Use a relevant and descriptive title (not "my request" or "plz add this").
  4. Keep to one request per topic.
  5. Include a reason for adding your request.
  6. You should wait at least 24 hours to shoot stars to a request. You will not get your stars back if we have to merge/duplicate your topic.
  7. Don't request ports. We don't need people to tell us we need ports, we need people to make them. Contact peppy if you're willing to make a port.
  8. Don't request a toggle for disabling [insert new feature here] unless you want peppy to come to your house with a baseball bat.
  9. Do NOT request beatmaps here. Make them yourself or ask someone privately.
Seriously? Nobody ever read the stickies? t/222054 and another merged thread makes this topic the 3rd in under 2 weeks... should I just make an example out of this thread and mark it now? =.=

The merged thread doesn't exist anymore, and I didn't see the first one so MY BAD, no need for attitude.

Why don't you guys use Sublime Text or Notepad++ (like me)? I recommend Sublime Text. It creates a temporary file (maybe), so you don't actually need to save the text. Each time you the program, it'll go to where it was if you didn't save.

Yeah i use chrome and it saves everything if I fuck up. Even the chrome on my phone does this.
