Of course, leaving a page open for three days and counting on nothing going wrong is asking for trouble. If I leave a post half-done for any length of time I save it as a text file on my computer, so it will be safe. If you've got your own system for that (which you suggest that you do), then that should do.

Well, I don't do it on purpose ... it is mostly having to abruptly leave the computer or being forced to focus my efforts elsewhere and forgetting about the post for a longer while. But yes ... I very aggressively automatically store everything half-done locally on my own devices, so I generally don't need to bother with separate drafts or text files. As I said, as long as whatever Mahz came up with doesn't somehow override my own system, all is good.

"mos" is the standard abbreviation, though now that you point it out, it's starting to look funny to me as well.

I am more used to the single-letter abbreviations myself... I have only seen "hr" of those abbreviations around on frequent basis, really.

Like @Ellri's annoyance with the @Mention system.

And Shien's completely unrelated issues with the @Mention system. :-P

- The browser will expel drafts from its LocalStorage once they are 6 hours old to avoid accumulation.

What about users who occasionally leave a page open for three days and expect it to still be there through browser restarts and what not? Never mind me unless I raise alarm, though - as long as your system for remembering posts doesn't interfere with my system for remembering posts (which literally brings back snippets from over a year ago in case I left any hanging without posting them) we're all good.

The Prophecy

I am quite sure he lived in a village in the duchy by the same name, rather than in Seclyr City itself *checks* ... yes, it looks to have been a random village. Unless you meant that he was probably brought to Seclyr City for the time he was a sniffer (rather than being stationed somewhere else), but I also assume a sniffer wouldn't be exactly told much, especially with the kind of general treatment Rhae's posts seem to describe.
Makes me wonder how numerous the deo'iel (with all the things that shouldn't be capitalized but are, there is this one example of the reverse - it's the order's name, after all, isn't it?) actually are, though... To be so widespread and widely known.

The Prophecy

Without checking Morgan's CS, he was to become a smith in some random small Seclyrian village, but before even hitting twenty was found out to have some magical talent and hence made into a sniffer... I'd say this kind of life would quite probably render him very sheltered?

Ah, so they're bipedal on ground? Interesting...
- I'm more used to seeing quadruped wyvern designs (the some bats and pterodactyls I brought up above both use their more powerful forelimbs to propel themselves forward, achieving a kind of slightly more symmetric version of gallop).

The Prophecy

Jack, a random question - how do your wyverns move on ground? Are they the crawly type or are they capable of running at high speeds (much like pterodactyls used to, and some bats do)?

Uhuh... That'll be one of those things that I'll be keeping perma-off.

Are you thinking of adding a way to search for specific role-plays instead of searching for posts? I'm one who doesn't want to go through all the pages of RPs to look for the types I might like to join and therefore keeps pressing the search button thinking I can enter the keyword and those type of role-plays would show up, but instead get every comment that has that keyword in it.

This is an intended feature(TM).

I actually read the "PMs" as "RPs", somehow...

Javascript and C# at the same time since Java and C# are practically the same language, and Javascript is obviously very related to Java.

I disagree, but that would be a topic for another thread, else we're going to derail the topic even further...
