Where is it "saved"?

[trevortron]

As I write a post, I see the occasional message at the bottom of the message window saying 'Auto-saved'. What it is doing? And can I retrieve the saved content? Reason I ask is I was almost at the end of a loooong post and lost the fizzing lot! It'd be nice to get it back again if poss.... (I've not closed that window)
Thx.

It should be making a draft of post.

It's saved in the thread. If you open a new tab and return to that thread there will (hopefully) be an option to restore saved content when you click reply.

Like so...

I believe it is timed based, something like every minute it saves what you have written so far.

So if your PC crashed and you wrote a big post it would automatically have a draft saved. I doubt it would have the whole thread if you was typing out say 10,000 characters etc but it would have quite a bit of it as it would of saved it periodically as you typed.

Just remember it is time based SAVED so it saves your draft every minute or 30 seconds - i am not sure lol.

If you wrote out a small few lines of text and then you lost the page or pc crashed it might not have saved it at all.

I will find out though!
