Summary:
Allow restoring contents of post when error happensFurther comments:I did a PEBKAC to myself, and lost the contents of a lengthy post when I tried to attach a file that was too large. It would be great if this was recoverable.
I'm aware that a work-around is to do Copy-All and then Copy-to-Clipboard prior to clicking "Save". I consider that a less than optimal bandaide.

Setup and more or less relevant info:
- Win7-64+Sp1 and IE9 (all updates)
- Sysop of under construction www.canprint.org/forum (http://www.canprint.org/forum)
- semi newbie of 2.0 and rusty at bbCode tagging
- big fan of SMF, but there is always room for improvement
Thanks for considering this.
You might want to post this in the "Help wanted. Not for support" board.
This one's for features that you'd like to see in the next version of SMF. ;)
actually, there is already a mod that does this... I think it's called autosave, or something like that
It may already be implemented. As a test, I tried again by attempting to upload an oversized file. There was a "Back" button available that took me back to the input page ... With The Contents Intact !
