Re: Safety Save
Mostly to prevent too many safety saves which will clog the board. Even though safety saves are not posted on the board, they use slots. Also, safety saves are flushed out after a certain amount of time, so people should be encouraged to finish their art soon, rather than let it build up, or they will lose it completely.
Editing public images is a limitation I can't easily resolve, which is why the board will still keep track of how many safety saves you have. I suppose that's a makeshift feature, as public edits are a bit more spontaneous than new art.
Or, maybe I'm just good at makeing excuses for my lousy code.

Re: Safety Save
I'll consider a new setting in the hacks file to allow this in 1.3.3. It's easy to increase the number of safety saves, but people will only be able to resume a safety save if they go to the Picture Recovery menu, instead of the Draw menu. This may confuse some people, so I'll do it properly instead of just doing a quick hack.
Be aware, that when combined with a generous safty-save time limit, a LOT of slots can be wasted. Use with caution.
