Where is my draft message?

[Avistu]

I was writing a reply to a post and had to leave in the middle of it. Instead of copying the text somewhere else and later finishing it, I saw the option to "save draft" and did so.

However, now I can´t find a way to retrieve that draft, does someone know if and how that can be done?

Thanks in advance.

Normally an unfinished message still exists at the bottom of the page where you were writing it. That's a Godsend quite often. I don't know if saving a draft will have screwed that up, nor do I know where a draft is saved, sorry.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately there is nothing there. Definitely will be more careful next time.

Of course you can always copy the text to a txt file before you leave the computer.
That has saved me quite a few times on the DJI forum where an incomplete message is lost if you accidentally go backward to the last page viewed etc..

For me, if I type my reply in the box below but don't click on "Post Reply" even if I close the browser tab, I can open a new browser tab, go to the message, and my reply will show up in the box at the bottom of the thread.

As mentioned, what is typed is "auto-saved" until "post reply" is clicked.

Agreed. But what's the function of this control?

It doesn't work lol

If the text is removed from the box it is gone.

Or maybe it saves a draft and we don't know where it is or how to load it?

I have only tried it a couple of times, and if it is saved, there is no way of knowing where it is saved or how to retrieve it. I'll pass this along to the forum owner to see if he knows

I believe it auto-saves per thread, if you give it enough time before leaving the screen. At least that is how it appears to work for me. I suspect there are some settings (cookie, etc..) that could disable it.
