Can we rig the forum so you can use the back button and see the text you entered in case of forum errors? I have typed several detailed replys and lost the text when I hit submit and the forum was busy or didn't work. When that happens on other forums I can back click and my data is still in the frame so I just submit it again.
The other thing not a biggy is to put the profanity filter in the user settings. This is another thing I have seen on other forums and liked. It is default on and you can turn it off if you are not a wuss.
That is all, thanks.

Can you include a link to the forums that have those features ?
the back button is likely based on browser features / settings
How often are you seeing server busy ? Server load is typically under 2 which is way under the load limit of 8 that is written in the forum ...

here is old idea for profanity hack that sounds similar

Its too old to work for our version even if the code actually existed
putting in optional censor would encourage more censorable language AND more imprtantly violate the Terms of Service of our advertisers
