Personal conversations (PMs) do not have auto-save feature....

[4evermaat]

If you type text in the forums, there is an autosave feature that saves drafts and if your browser were to crash or you accidentally close out a window, you can reopen the same windown and restore the content. Private message system does NOT have this feature for some reason, whether it be a new message or a reply to a prior PM. I do not know why this is the case, but i found out the hard way after finishing typing a lengthy post and the browser crashed. I went back to the PM only to find out there was no 'restore autosave content'

Unfortunately, lazarus does not work in certain flash-based textboxes (using Google Chrome) But if I were using Firefox, maybe textareaCache would have capture the text.

Anyway, please add the autosave feature to Private Messages....really anywhere on the forum where lots of important text is expected to be written.
