I been using other forums and have noticed features which GameFAQs doesnt have. One is when you type a post and then click from page 1 to page 2, 3, 4, etc your posts is saved as a draft. You dont have to type it again like on GameFAQs.

Other is there is longer title character limit and no link character limit. On GameFAQs for some reason the longest a link can be is 150 characters.

CJayC built this in a cave.
Most other forums uses already existing forum software that got those features.

window.onbeforeunload barely works anymore, so the only real way to "save" a draft would be a setInterval constantly tossing the post content into a cookie or transient.

An alternative would be keeping the post box itself static, and reloading the thread content via ajax on a page change.
