Is there currently anyway for the website to save typed text? I know it is possible because I have been apart of other web sites that auto saves written text every thirty seconds or so.
If not what would it take to install something like this?

You mean like a draft of a post? I don't think I've seen that in forum software, and browsers can be fickle about keeping text in an input form. If I'm making a particularly long post, I often type it up in Notepad or some other application where a stray key-combo is less likely to wipe it all out.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I put alot of work in to some of my larger posts. Recently I invested 6 hours looking up various concerns, and went to post and came back with an error screen. which looses everything This has happened many times. Aside from opening someother program writing it all in one pace and then transfering it here, is their any way to just save the info written here?

I don't think that they do.
