What about autosave???



We can do it but I feel it will increase the load on client side.

Better to use Save Draft feature.

Direct image upload capability in Forum Posts.


Well it has been on our list for the longest and requested by so many members.


Recently we made some good progress in this regard. We are aiming to roll this out next week for Active DTs so that we can fine tune the feature before enabling it other user groups.


We will place some reasonable restrictions like number of images a user group can upload in a day/month etc.

Please vote this up if you feel its an important feature we should prioritise.


Most wanted feature finally enabled... am the happiest ☺ 💕

Thanks a ton 🤗

Thanks Hinz for this suggestion.


This feature is now LIVE.

We might make some cosmetic changes so that its not a button but a simple hyperlink.

Feedback on this: I would prefer to see My Forum Drafts in the top-right menu, just under My Posts and just above My Watched Topics ... That would make navigation easier than having to go to my profile and click Drafts, then choose between Forum Drafts and Message Drafts.


Your reasoning for putting the hyperlink for My Drafts next to the Save Draft button isn't obvious to me. When I'm in a topic and I want to resume a draft (maybe for a different topic), it doesn't seem intuitive to scroll down to the Reply field and find the My Drafts hyperlink there. Starting a new reply is the opposite of resuming a draft, so I guess if I really didn't know where to find my draft, and I was in the right topic, I would go to the Reply field, but would I look at the buttons before I finished wasting my time retyping my post?


And if I'm already editing one draft, I'm never going to click the My Drafts hyperlink because Save Draft gets me to the same place without losing my work on this draft.

We have implemented this feature. So "My Post" is now only visible to Self and DT members.


Thank you so much for this.

Can you please bring the auto-save feature back? It's totally annoying to write everything again from the very beginning. When I go to different app, for example Youtube to copy a link of a video, the page auto refreshes and I've to type everything again. 😭

Agreed. When I post something publicly, I know that anyone in the world could see it and connect it to everything else I do on the internet. It makes no sense to let other members read my posts by browsing threads, but not when they visit my profile to find out what my interests and opinions are.


If I can go to a member's profile and see what fan fiction books the member has published, it's an inconvenience that I can't see where the member is discussing the origin of that fan fiction.


India Forums' revenue depends on members responding to each others' posts, right? There are threads where I'm the only person posting anything, and I really would like other members to find those topics and build a discussion. Hiding my posts on my profile is thwarting my effort to support India Forums' revenue.

Yes this feature has been disabled.


We will bring it back with the option to Allow All / Buddies Only / Disallow other members to view their MyPost page.

Now that you are counting Comments as well as Posts to evaluate member activity, could there also be a My Comments page so that going to someone's profile will reveal (if that member allows it) a list of articles or fan fictions where that member has commented?


Now that no one can see my posts on my profile, I have no idea why anyone bothers to visit, but they do.

Can we have a way to unsend pms?

Also, rn, when you click on a pm we have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see the actions, maybe that dropdown could be shifted to "select all" button.




Well when a user sends a PM .. we do send notification instantly to the recipient. So I doubt we can do that.

However we will explore if we can allow Edit of the message part till the user has not read the PM. But looks we are going to confuse the user even more. 😃

Regarding the action option we do not have any other spot to put it. Yet we will explore how we can make it better. May be the action part could be made sticky so that as soon as the PMs are selected it gets stickied at the bottom of the screen.
