Things that make IMDb easier to use
I live in an area that have frequent power failures so why not implement a function that automatically save the text input (every 1 minute?) when we users are writing a review. As it is now, we lose everything when the power goes down (as it did write this) and we must start all over again! Even if we are writing on a laptop who has battery, and I not refreshing the page I'm writing on, all input in the review textbox goes away. 1 hour’s work gone!!
And when I was looking for this web page where I can give suggestions like this, I was surprised that I could not log in or keep my connection with IMDb, because your page has a different login?? Why not use the same as I have in IMDb? Even if you are not the same company, you are handling IMDb stuff. Makes us user have a smoother experience, because we now must save 2 different logins for IMDb stuff!

I write all my reviews in my gmail which automatically saves it as a draft so if anything happens I don't lose what I've written. I've had error messages pop up without losing power trying to write a review on the site so I find it best to not create them that way. I select all, copy and paste, put my tagline up and submit. That only takes maybe an extra 30 seconds.

Hi everyone!
I read the suggestion about automatically saving text drafts while writing reviews, and I completely relate. As a video editor, I often work on creative projects that can easily be disrupted by unexpected power failures. To prevent losing hours of work, I’ve been exploring different tools that help save progress automatically.
For those of you who have faced issues while writing IMDb reviews or even creating any type of content, do you have any strategies or software you use to prevent losing your work?
Would love to hear if you have any other tips for ensuring that your writing (or editing) doesn’t get lost due to unexpected technical issues.
