New site function: Save as Draft

Thanks for this. It’s a good feature to have ?

Really good, it asks if you want to Leave or Remain on the Page when you click Cancel, can that be removed?

I've personally had a post or two lost to clicking "cancel" or closing a tab while composing, but with draft saving this is potentially no longer an issue. It is really easy to remove the code that confirms you want to leave without submitting/saving...

quick poll (open for a few days). Non-response will be interpreted as "I don't care" ?

• I like the warning messages and want them to stay, they have saved me in the past
  
• I don't like them and want them removed, I can rewrite anything accidentally lost
  

If the votes are mixed, I can probably make this a per-user preference...

I'm going for

I don't like them and want them removed, I can rewrite anything accidentally lost

I honestly don't mind either option. All I would say is that a final clock doesn't bother me.

I like the draft option very much.

If I upload an Image, used to be able to generate a code that I could include the image anywhere in the post, can't find this anymore?

Trotter, do you see this when you upload an image to a post?



You should see the "(send to editor)" on the right for your image.

clicking it should add the relevant HTML code to your post you are composing:

<img alt='easton-perilous.jpg' src='1_5f05f2dc014bf.jpg'/>

Note that only Fellowship level accounts are allowed to include HTML in posts (at this time, because I haven't finished an HTML scrubber to remove hostile scripts etc. which have been a vector for malicious code in the past). So not all of you will have this option right now, sorry! Trotter, feel free to PM me if you are still having issues and I will dig in further. It is possible I broke this for some people with the new code.

I’m fine either way. An extra click doesn’t bother me all that much.

Thanks for polling and taking our opinions into consideration. ?

Seems like there's not a lot of resistance to turning the feature off, so I will work on that later this week (in such a way that it will be easy to turn on for individuals that want it, if such a person ever pops up in the future).

In the meantime, I put about ten lines of code together to auto-generate avatars for those who don't have one already. Don't like it? Edit your profile and upload your own! ?
