Publishing

[quote=Jpikachu1999]On the topic of publishing, I'd like to see a glitch I've had several times fixed. If your internet dies for even a second while you have your publish action pending, your guide whole page can fail and get the whole "Cannot connect to Mobafire servers". Reloading it usually ends up with rewriting several of my parts and deleting others. I've learned to keep backups because of this, but it's fairly annoying when my internet cuts for a couple of seconds and does this.[/quote]

[quote=Keondre]That happened a couple times to me too. I was writing an "Essay" for Paragonia's Annie dicussion and it cut me off. I had to rewrite it...[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]I is in :>[/quote]

[quote=Keondre]Thanks for the support! I wonder if Matt will take a look at this and see if it is worth anything...[/quote]

[quote=Xaioli]Just PM Matt, FlashJ or Virago with a link to this thread. I'm sure most of them read whatever they get in PM's. They're busy people, but they always have time to listen to us :) inb4 I get global muted[/quote]

[quote=Keondre]Okay :D[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Oh god, I would have loved this feature back when I was making guides. It was SO EASY to accidentally and mindlessly go "Save", hit "okay" and then "publish" by accident. Great idea. Voted "yes".[/quote]

[quote=Keondre]I PMED Matt. i hope he takes it into consideration..[/quote]

[/quote] You could suggest adding in an auto-save feature, where if your internet stops working/closes in the middle of making a guide then it saves it to a backup folder where you can recall it at your convenience. Th only problem I can see with that, though, is if it takes up too much space (say someone spams it with 20 useless guides). It's a simple fix, where it only keeps one or two saved at a time. [quote=Jpikachu1999] Just gonna say, it would probably be better if it said "Are you sure you want to publish?". Not that most people would have a problem, but some people might be seriously confused if a message popped up while they were on a different tab (the request was still pending). [/quote] Good idea, just shorten it to something like "Publish?" and then a yes or no button. Otherwise it takes up too much space on the screen, giving it an unprofessional feeling.[/quote]
