| Aug 13, 2010 at 19:11 | comment | added | Maxim Zaslavsky | If this feature gets implemented (I doubt it, but still, fingers crossed), we should have some sort of auto-save every few minutes, too. If the team doesn't implement this for the sites, I'll work on something similar once v2 of the API is released. | |

grammar
|
| Aug 10, 2010 at 13:21 | comment | added | Pops | @Joel: why voluntarily assign two meanings to one tag when it would cost next to nothing to create two unambiguous tags instead? | |
| Jun 30, 2010 at 21:04 | comment | added | Joel Coehoorn | @David - it handles both. Sometimes deferred to later, sometimes deferred to an outside fix or workaround. | |
| Jun 30, 2010 at 5:50 | comment | added | Dhaust | @Joel Coehoorn - I know arguing with a Mod about this is kinda dumb...but what the hell. If you look through the [status-deferred] questions, it seems the tag is used almost exclusively to mean 'we'll get to that later if it becomes important' (which I totally get and agree with). But as Bobo pointed out, if it's meant to mean 'Gee we wish a 3rd party would fix this', a new, more accurate tag should really be created for that. | |

Shouldn't that be status-delegated or status-not-us?
|
|
| Jun 29, 2010 at 15:26 | comment | added | Joel Coehoorn | @David - I think you misunderstand "status-deferred". It's not usually "deferred until later". It's "deferred to someone else to implement or fix." For example, a bug caused by a flaw in a browsers javascript implemention my be deferred to the browser vendor to fix (or it might not). A feature request that can be easily accomplished with a third-party solution might be deferred to the third party. In this case, it's the latter. | |
| Jun 28, 2010 at 2:03 | comment | added | Dhaust | OK, a year in 'status-deferred' mode is long enough. Please bust this feature out. | |
| Jun 27, 2010 at 14:38 | comment | added | user148312 | @ChrisF: this urge is not always there, it would be very useful for answers if nothing else, to protect against crashes (some answers involving code can be quite elaborate)... | |

| Jan 10, 2010 at 8:01 | comment | added | Nick Bolton | Please don't take offence - but please could you use correct grammar for the title of this question? I think it will make people pay more attention. I'd really like to have this feature. Also, why is this a community wiki? It's not subjective or anything - you could have racked up a lot of rep points. Cheers! | |

| Jul 14, 2009 at 0:33 | comment | added | bobobobo | +1 for drafting questions only. ChrisF's right, most people just treat the answer board as a sort of drafting area | |

| Jun 30, 2009 at 15:37 | comment | added | TheTXI | It shouldn't take ages to craft a comment. And for answers I see it as a middle ground type of need because answers rely on speed a lot more than questions do if they want to score better. | |
| Jun 30, 2009 at 15:37 | comment | added | ChrisF Mod | It's less "useful" for answers as there is always the urge to post the first answer and then "tart" it up later. | |
| Jun 30, 2009 at 15:35 | comment | added | Thomas Owens | Would I like this? Yes. Is it feasible? I'm not sure. Especially because if this is implemented for questions, people will want it for answers and maybe even comments... | |
