In my experience on
vB forums, the little "Autosave" tag appears in the bottom corner of the text box about once a minute or so while actively typing. It never appears here, and I've never seen it dependent on what editor type is used. I use the WYSIWIG editor, because the CKeditor removes a bunch of formatting options, and doesn't actually show the formatting in the text box. It only shows the BB code tags.
