New a.cc javascript extension. Adds an emergency backup droplist mechanism in case you accidentally lose that post you worked oh so hard on! To install, select all of this text (make sure to scroll down!) and copy it to your clipboard (control + C):
Then navigate to the extensions page and select the bottom text box with your mouse and paste (control + V). You must be logged in to navigate to this page. Click save and enjoy! {"name":"591558","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/7\/174629522748c6d1fda2ba043775cc0b.png","w":713,"h":559,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/7\/174629522748c6d1fda2ba043775cc0b"} |

It doesn't seem to work with Konqueror Quite a nice thing. I wish I had such a thing some times after pressing the wrong button after writing a post for half an hour. __________ |

I haven't tried it yet, but will this be potentially convertible in a browser addon (so it can be used on other places) or it relies on A.cc-specific features to work?

Works fine with Opera, even though it's not needed.

I've never written a FF add-on, so I wont be doing it. Its definitely possible though. That could be nice for when you submit a post and you're not logged in. Though you can already do a refresh / repost trick there. |

As far as I know, the crash recovery system in FF 2.0 should keep the text from textareas when you return from a crash. At least, everytime Firefox crashes, it saves my text. -- |

Konqueror doesn't have an issue with pressing back and losing the text. -- |

Nice work Dustin. I found a similar Greasemonkey script which works with all textboxes here. |

You shouldn't spend half an hour on a post. If you need that, make a homepage instead. IE loses my posts, Opera and Safari don't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Quote: You shouldn't spend half an hour on a post. Yes you should. If you're going around the net looking for helpful links, testing code, reading up some information, etc, etc all to make your post information rich, you'd be surprised how long it can take to finish a single post.
