Save For Later

Sometimes. More so with responses. Sometimes I'll just be typing out something and

 

@SLeffler27 There is an icon on the edit bar that is a diskette (just right of the + sign), and if you click on it, it will save your unfinished post as a draft in the compose box. When you come back to the thread to finish the post, your draft will be there in a dimmed status. Click in the compose box and finish what you're doing.

 

Learn something new every day. Thanks for that!

 

I've actually never used that icon, but on my desktop I casually left my mouse pointer over it one day and a bubble showed up to tell me that it was for a Draft so I experimented to see how it works. If you're on a desktop your mouse will show you the way for the other icons.

 

Since this was answered so quickly I'll hijack to ask a related question that's been on my mind;
Is there a way to remove the draft saved in a thread response? Sometimes I'll be too drunk to be reasonable, but just sober enough to recognize that fact part way through my dumb ass response and will delete it. But then, every time I return to the thread the specter of my inebriated idiocy haunts me. Id love to be able to delete that and move on

 

When you click on the Draft icon you get a box with a choice to Delete the draft along with a Save it. I just did it on this post to see what would happen, but nothing did. However, when I left this thread and came back the compose box was empty, so it worked.

 

Well, I just type in something along the lines of " oops fatfinger" and post.

I lack techy skillz.

 

I erase it , &/or write something else.
Didn't know about the button. Whatever way my stuff is configured, it saves it automatically ,after a certain time. (30sec? 1 min?) . Usually takes me longer than that to post something.
