It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

I'm not sure how/if this is possible with whatever software gog uses, but I think it'd be extremely helpful for reviewers.
I was just writing a huge review for stronghold and I was almost done when I somehow accidentally hit a key that took me off the review window when I went to hit backspace to correct a spelling error and found my web browser back a window, then as I went forward I saw that the window had sadly gone and all the text I wrote was lost.
I know other sites (or email services as well) had a protection thing for this sort of mistake where it will save something if you are writing and go out of the window and when you go back to it it'll still have what you wrote cached. It would be nice to see something similar for gog's review page when you are writing one.
blogger!
Start\Run\Notepad.exe perhaps?
Whenever writing anything longer than a paragraph or 2, I always compose offline, websites & browsers are too unreliable to trust for long stuff.
He's right, you know.
That would be useful and not at all difficult to implement in any given framework. haven't looked at the GoG code much, but you basically just need a table for user, field and value. Sync it on keydown with timeout and if the user visits a form for which a value already exists, ask him if he want to restore.
Stiller, could you please file an issue for this. Maybe I could implement it in the GoG Addon. I'll look into it tomorrow.
but yeah, blogger does the same thing and it's fantastic.

Well, place a suggestion in the features wislist.

Notepad's better, never have to rely on a connectionless protocol

Oh I mostly use NPP because of that nice container structure it does for writing subroutines and other programmy bits but for straight up "shit, I need to write that down fast", nothing beats the original

Except if you have files with Unix linebreaks...
This is why I write all my reviews I ever post on the web in a word document.
Never trust the interwebs to save your creative criticisms.
