Can Tappedout implement an auto-save when writing posts and comments?

I don't know what it is about this website, but more often than not when writing posts the site can crash on me in the middle of writing elaborate feedback. This is especially disheartening because I can easily lose an hour and a half worth of writing, proof-reading, and editing and I then no longer feel like helping out the people I spend a good amount of my time writing to when all of it ends up getting thrown away for nothing. Normally I try to copy-and-paste what I write onto a word document, but this can make the process even more tiresome and time-consuming to follow up on. There are other websites where when the page I'm on does crash everything I had just written up to that point is still there when I return to the page even though it hasn't yet been submitted, but Tappedout doesn't have this feature which really deters me from spending time and contributing on this site. Can an auto-save feature please be considered? It would save me and many other people quite a lot of grief and wasted time. Thank you.
@yeaGO, I can't speak for other people, but this has never happened for me. I always try a couple of various methods, but never once does any of them work. Sometimes refreshing might bring me back to the same page, but everything I had written is now blank.

I know what you mean. But..... If I ever plan on getting that deep into a comment or even a deck description, I type it somewhere like notepad or MS Word or whatever. Or at the very least copy everything when I get pretty far into it.

It seems like half the time when the site does take a dump in the middle of me writing I can get back to where I was. Unless Im on mobile. Than normally not.

I like this idea.
bear in mind that if you do encounter a problem when you submit your comment, you can usually refresh your browser on that error page and it will attempt to re-post your comment
