【Kareha】 No title entered (8)

Right now, if you attempt to start a new thread with a well-conceived premise and carefully constructed opening post, but forget to enter a Title, then the post's contents are lost.

I'd like to suggest that an untitled or otherwise broken post's contents be remembered and pre-filled into the appropriate textarea after clicking on the Return link from the error page.

or adapt the error page to include a copy of the post form, so your text can be fixed and resubmitted.

Although it might encourage people to do things like trying to outwit the spam protection.

It should be up to the browser to remember the form contents in these cases, but I've noticed browsers tend to fail at this, so a workaround might be in order.

Maybe I should make a special posting page, that can be used for this, and for the admin posting discussed elsewhere. Maybe even for spellcheck integration, if I felt like being really fancy.

Why?

So that the script can show the separate posting page, filled in, when there's an error.

How? The error page gives no indication to the browser whether the message was or wasn't posted.

You could integrate the re-submission form and pre-filled text into the error page, or auto-scroll to the appropriate pre-filled textarea on the main page after the user clicks Return.

I was thinking the former.
