I think my main change that I'd like to see would be some sort of Save Draft type feature when you are posting. There have been waaay too many times when I've been writing a long post and forget to copy and paste it into Word or something, and I hit the Submit Reply button and lose everything I wrote because CAG logged me out.
That's the thing I hate the most. Especially if I'm making a point and am really typing fast and putting a lot of thought and concentration into the post, then just hit Submit Reply out of habit, and a split second later think, "Oh shit, it's probably logged me out." And then I try and highlight and Copy as much as I can in that second or two before the Login page loads.
I know a Save Draft feature would probably be hell on the server, but it would only have to be saved for 30 seconds while the user logs back on and finds the topic again.
Or instead of a Save Draft, maybe there's a way that the content could be PMed to the user so that it's not lost.
Or automatically posted after a certain amount of time, then the user can log in to the forums again, find his/her post and push the Edit button to finish up.
Or even a timer that warns you when there is only 1 minute left and reminds you to save your content or prematurely post it before it's lost.
Something so that I don't have to try and remember everything I just wrote, because it just never sounds as good when you try to rewrite it from memory.
(And yes, I copied and pasted this all into Word so that I wouldn't lose it
)
(And it was a good thing too, because I was logged out)
And in reference an idea mentioned on Page 1:
I don't think the PM when someone quotes you is a bad idea either. I know I feel kind of bad if someone asks me a question or comments on something and I don't reply because I didn't see it. You should probably make an option to turn this off too.
