I just wanted to take a minute to explain a couple of new features of the forum.

Most of us will have experienced the sheer frustration when after writing a long and thoughtful post your browser locks up or the forum crashes and your left with nothing but a blank text box.

When you are using the full editor (it will be extended to the quick reply box soon) your post will be saved every two minutes, if you lose your post for whatever reason, you can call it back and restore it...

Another new feature is live topic replies... If you spend longer than two minutes writing a post you will get a live notification telling you that someone has replied since you have started typing and it will give you the option to view it whilst still keeping your current post...

You will need to watch this video full screen to see what is going on.

Excellent news Terry ! I had once wrote a full page in a TR only for my pc to crash and I had re write it.

This looks like a step forward indeed.

Now how do I know whether both BMs quoted have received a Notification?

Trying it a different way.

Have you both received Notifications?
