Battle.net Will No Longer Eat Your Posts

Posted 8th Jan 2009 03:00 PM by Leord

Bashiok has promised to bring an end to the eating of posts on Battle.net. Whenever a Battle.net member takes a long time to write a post, the content will disappear when the poster hit “Submit”, which is primarily a frustration to fans that write long posts. This was apparently never supposed to happen, but when the forums were upgraded, we never got the safety feature in the forums that would save the post when asked to log in.

Blizzard Quote:

I’m really sorry you lost your post. :( I know it’s been an issue since the forum relaunch at least. These forums do feature the ability to keep posts even if your login session expires. For some reason it broke when the forums were implemented, and it’s recently been raised as a higher priority fix.

Until then I highly recommend writing any long posts in a text editor and then copying and pasting them into a post. Sorry again.

Good news!

Yep, and even with a function to save it, you can still suffer browser crashes, so it’s probably good to do even when they upgrade.

I know I have lost 40 or so min worth of writing on Blizz forums before =P

If you’re using Firefox, this extension can help against the problem with websites crashing or timing out. Not just on Battle.net, but on every web site.
