It's hard to describe what I want to say, but here's the gist:

On other forums, when you start typing a comment in a chat box, the site kinda "saves" it for you. Say I'm typing a several-paragraph response to a post in a guide, and I accidentally hit "backspace" while I'm not in the text box. It'll send me back a page and when I go forward to return to the guide, everything I wrote is now gone, unless I happened to copy it beforehand.

On other forums, this won't happen. If you type a response in a text box and accidentally go back a page, whether it's from a random backspace, mouse click, or macro that you have a mouse button set to, when you return to the text box page, it will still have everything you wrote up to the point of you accidentally going back a page. Why is this? Would it be possible for MOBAFire to have this? I only ask because I've done this SEVERAL TIMES NOW and it's EXTREMELY annoying to try to remember and retype a long comment, or even thread.

It doesn't happen for me on MOBAFire. I can hit backspace, and return and my text will be in the comment box. I did it 4 times on this comment, as a matter of fact :)

It's related to the browser, it has nothing to do with mobafire. Unless you press send mobafire will not receive any information, it's your browser that stores it.

We aren't doing anything unusual with the edit box that other forums wouldn't do. I'm not sure why it would work any differently here. There might be a difference between the quick reply box and the box on the "advanced" page. Does it behave the same way in both boxes for you?

There are addons that have the function to store everything you write. I believe the name of one is Lazarus, but I haven't used it myself as I'm not quite as clumsy as little Jebus here :P

Yea that happened to me a few times.

Thing is, on solomid I can type something, back out, and come back fine in Chrome, but on MOBAFire no deal.

Well this is annoying.

I'm running Firefox (the latest version, IDK if it's 4 or 5 anymore) and it gets rid of everything for me.

Wrath, I got Chrome and I can do it here on MOBAFire. That's odd.
