Howdy guys, thanks for looking at my suggestion.

I know, I know, you can write your post in Pages, Microsoft Word, and so on. But I thought of an idea. How about adding a button right next to the submit button that says "Save as draft".

---Why would it be used?---

Lets say your typing your really long walkthrough for a flash game. Then, all of a sudden, you have to go somewhere for some reason. Just click the "Save to draft

---Conditions? awwwwww!!! :,c---

Yes, I think there should be conditions. The post or thread you are writing should already have x amount of characters. I haven't come up with an exact number, I was thinking you guys could help me on that one. ^^

---Where would it be saved to?---

There would be another button that would pop up right below the "Save to draft" button, and it would say "Open draft". I think this would be really convenient.

---Why not just use Pages, Microsoft Word (etc.)?---

I think we should add this button because not everyone types their post in Pages and then copy an pastes it to here. If there was an
urgent situation and you had to go somewhere, you could just click that button. Simple as that.


Thanks for taking the time for reading my suggestion.
I'd like constructive critism and additions. Thanks. :]

Good but imo I think an Edit Button is way better you can simply post and write it as *incomplete* if you're making a guide, Fix those annoying typos, rephrase sentences and so on. I don't really think this feature will be abused in any way, I've been to several forums which has this feature.

tl;dr - An edit button is better and I should've made my own thread insteadd of posting it here. =))

You probably should have, so more or less, thats spam.

I like the idea, definitely a good update for when version 3 Armorgames comes out. But, as you know space costs money, and AG does NOT have a lot of that right now. Mainly because of ad blockers blah blah blah, all said here. Something to look forward in Version 3, if it ever comes out.

Hmm..

A good feature which is not all too necessary.

You can save your text to a simple text file, if you need to make drafts. That's what I do. Hey, you can even recover lost forms with Lazarus, if your tab/browser closes unexpectedly. Quite frankly, I do not support this idea because it's benefits can already be found with other things. Laziness.

I see what you guys mean, I know. But I'm just saying this would be much easier. . .

The reason those weird symbols appear has to do with Microsoft Word's formatting. Putting your text in a basic editor such as Notepad or Wordpad will do fine.

As for an emergency or something, why not use text hosting?

Yes, I already knew that it's laziness, we established that in the first post, no need to be obnoxious.

Learn grammar then come back to me. :/

Actually, no we didn't, it came after the first post. I know you where saying it was said allready and didn't need to be said again, but come on.

I really just posted here to tell you to quit the bueno thing. No one cares if you made the tread. Its way more obnoxious then my slight grammar errors. I made a few in that post. big deal. Its not like I'm talking like a 1337 lover. "D1$ 1$ p0$$1b13!!!" See, much diffrent.

No, it's being obnoxious saying the same thing again. I got it already, and I was prepared for people to say it when I was writing the thread.

I can *BUENO* in my title if I feel like it. It's not harming anyone. It's just like a signature at the end of every post, but in the thread title. Whoopdy doo.

I also Agree with Knight . It's really unnecessary. An edit button for our own posts would be nice.

If you knew people where gonna say it, why even make the thread in the first place?

Alright then, heres something new to add. If they let you save things to the site, its gonna have to get saved on the server taking up unneed space.

Funny see, cause signatures are greatly frowned uopn by the powers of AG. Yes, your not harming ayone, yet its annoying. I said the same thing as they did, annoying yes? But I still can, I shouldn't, but I do. Your being rather Hypocritical.

I never said it's annoying... it's obnoxious. I don't see how putting Bueno is obnoxious. But I'll stop.

Yeah, an edit button would be cool.

I don't mind. Some people here are very, very hmm.. lemme say sensitive. Oh come on, it's just one word what's the big problem?

That'll change if signatures are put in AG 3.0, though I can say that won't be popular with the community.

Considering that people now have concluded that an edit button is better (I agree), that drafts should be saved elsewhere (use your email), and lost text-scenarios can be handled by FireFox (Lazarus saves what has been written), I will lock this since the discussion is now about signing the title.
Which in this case is at least better than "by SOYMASTER". However, I think you at least, if you insist on continuing this (considering your name is on the first post anyway), you should de-caps it. Because it is rather annoying to look at.
