4 August 2012: To FaceBook engineers: two minor yet not so minor problems and pleas

by jcyf94

There must be some kind of prevention mechanism, or there should be, to ensure things I spent hours writing do not repeatedly get erased by just a light finger brush, or an extra second pressing the erase or delete keys.

Maybe I never had any interesting or helpful things to say, but I do take them doggone seriously as hell. I am too burnt out to get mad and frustrated about 100+ words and ? hours lost right now, but it feels like borderline hazing by some unknown forces.

Genii working here for Facebook: just two little humble pleas:

  1. I do not know why every time when I attempted to writing something of greater length, the website frequently logged me out automatically? I lost too much time and energy, repeatedly seeing my writing evaporated as I was forcibly locked out. If it is my lack of knowledge on the setup, please teach me how to fix it.
  2. Please introduce auto-safe function as appeared in Microsoft Office. This ought not be complex at all, I assume. This is not a blog site, I am aware. I should stop treating it like one. However, I am betting many have the similar frustrations in regard to having your works disappeared just like that.

These problems should be easy- piecey to most, coming from someone completely illiterate in speaking code languages and foreign to the specifics of internet, networking, and computer science.

These are only small details, but most regular users, I assume, must have had similar experiences, if you are of my age or older. Otherwise I would have to admit to myself my own stupidity so utterly immense and unique it warrants special attentions.
