    I had an idea about reviews that I want to see what you all think of...

    Like Gmail, I want to implement an auto-saved draft for those long reviews where you need to go, or your browsers crashes, so on and so forth. I know that Tinn writes giant reviews, so I want to make sure that everyone's reviews are saved while in progress. There'll also be a manual save button. But until it's sent it'll live in its special little database entry (and auto-pruned after 30 days). In my idea there will be a tab in the control panel to see any drafts in progress (as well as view said draft), and would automatically come up when opening a chapter in the quick-review box, or the full review.

    What do you think?

    I like the idea. Nothing else to say. Keep up the good work.

    Heh a plenty nifty feature, Raven. I only wish it'd been there a few weeks ago when I lost a review. :p

    I like the idea. That'd be brilliant, in fact; I often choose not to review because I don't have the time I'd need to finish, and it's a bit tiresome to save the review on Notepad or Word so that I can come back to it later.

    I vote in favour. And thanks for the thought. :)

    Awesome. That would be very helpful for me as well.

    Brilliant idea! My reviews tend to be more of a stream of consciousness rather than actual criticism, having the ability to create drafts and come back to them later will help me to be more objective in general.

    Keep it up, Raven!

    Yeah, it's a excellent idea. Especially for people with a computer like mine. My browser ends up crashing quite a lot...

    Cool, I like the feedback I'm getting. It'll be in 1.0.2.
