I lost a review I was doing and I really loved the story I was reviewing. I find that I become attached to the stories I read and would love to see changes and revisions too. I work full time so it is hard for me to finish a review in 12 hours sometimes, I like to take my time and give the review my serious attention so longer would be better for me. And I like to think that those people reviewing my work aren't rushing their review just to meet the schedule. That happened to me too.

For some reasons I find myself forced to "abandon" a review for some time and when I come back to it, it's too late, the 12 hours period has expired and I get a new story. Other than that, the autosave and login prompt worked well for me. Same for me, just like Mac’s experience.

No progress lost there. But if I didn't finish the review in the time limit ka-pow, bang, snap... all of it deleted. The last review that this happened on was only a few days ago. I wasn't able to finish it because school is a priority, and when I came back after the time limit (despite having marked a few edits), the story was replaced with a different one. I hope that helps.

We recently received an email saying the feature did not work for someone. Overall we thought it was working for everyone, how often have you lost your reviews? We have made significant changes to the auto-save feature so that it will prompt you to login if you have let your session timeout without typing anything. Have you lost any reviews lately? Does it seem to be working better? @sakuragirl and @Mac

The extendible 36 hours review would be great, it happened more than once for me to not be able to complete my review in the 12 hours and have all my comments lost when I came back to it.

Some reviews take longer to review; I like to read them, sleep on it, then come back to the story/article/essay in the morning with a new outlook. Definitely 36 hours!

However, I don't have a problem with longer. For very busy people, the longer time frame might be an improvement. As to the five hours to conduct a review, I would prefer more time to address the incidents when a review is interrupted and lost. However, for the most part, the five hours has worked for me.
