I tried to write a message but I couldn't attach the file I wanted to. Next I "saved to drafts" to give me some time figure out to how to attach the file. Now I can't find my drafts. Where are they?

If I haven't posted a reply, and I close the browser window, I find the draft message in the entry box when I return. Even when editing, I will refresh my browser if I have 'lost' some text. Sometimes works, sometimes not. I presume that the forum application software regularly saves your entry onto the server, but only releases it to the public when you post the reply.

Really? I have never seen (or noticed) that option on the forum.

The forum seems to save drafts of the last message you were writing, but for a limited time.

It's here:



But I think that possibly it's just meant to be temporary, as we don't have a "drafts" folder in our accounts.

Maybe @ivar can shed some light on this.
