HackForums breaks when writing posts or saving drafts or previewing - realsunjester - Nov 14, 2018

I have been writing a very long post, which will break into smaller posts since it's so long. However, when I try to save it as a draft or preview the post it will make me "verify im human", which of course I do, but when it redirects, it wipes the POST data out. Luckily, i'm not a moron and I have my draft saved elsewhere.

I just thought you should know. I will continue writing it on my own forum to avoid this issue, but I am sure others may have encountered it as well.

Hmm not sure what causes this. I would not worry about it if its not causing problems.

It's not a problem for me, but it is a problem when the recaptcha is wiping out the POST data and not redirecting properly. I just thought Omni might want to know.

Yeah, I've been getting that as well. Kind of frustrating when you can't preview the post or save it as a draft.

I always write long posts in a notepad++ window first then I copy/paste. This is to avoid it being 100% lost by the browser.

Yea, I've been coding for over 20 years, "save, then save, then save again" is in my DNA, I didn't lose any data, I just wanted you to be aware of the issue.

Is there any way to bypass/remove that? I want to save a thread as a draft and edit it if needed, before posting/publishing it.

I have been writing it in notepad but I can't see how it'll look like when it gets posted on HF.

So because of the fact that more mybb forums have this issue, it's not an issue anymore?
Sounds logic.
