Submission Wizard improvement

Lazeez Jiddan (Webmaster)

Yesterday, the 15th, I released an update to the submission wizard improving the whole thing and specifically the paste text function.

Previously, if you start a submission and don't properly complete it or get interrupted before doing the final submission, then everything you did gets lost.

That behaviour mostly hurt amateur or technically challenged users who used the paste box to type their stories.

Now, every submission gets saved as it progresses, and if you decide to type in your text manually, it will auto-save it every 60 seconds.

You can consider it a draft system, only it doesn't keep it for an unlimited time. A incomplete submission's auto-saved data gets deleted after 30 days of inactivity.

When you click the Wizard, any auto-saved entries will be listed on top with two links, one to resume and the other one to discard the entry.

This is not a replacement for the shortcuts function. It's useable once to submit something and then it gets deleted.

There are authors who actually write their story in the submission text box? Amazing.

On their iphones, as well!

Maybe that's why some stories are so badly written. The writer can't even see the previous sentence, and the teacher asked him a question and he forgot where he was.

Emergency question: (I don't post stories that often, so can forget how to do things)
I need to contact a mod about a story I posted last night, the formatting is bad. I only uploaded two files but there are three chapters, with 3 being a near duplicate of 2.
