YOU ARE DRAFTED!

My draft in the timber frame board did not "auto save" this morning.  This one did.

EDIT:  Dunno, went back and tried another reply and it saved.  A glitch I suppose?

One thing that I noticed this morning is that the Drafts stay in the Draft Folder until you delete them.

I think Jeff said they expire or disappear in 7 days. One I know I had in there is gone now, on it's own. Jeff may have increased the timing. I had a post that was open awhile a short while ago posted it and no automatic draft was saved in the time I was typing, thinking and adding photos.

They stay in there until you post it, delete it, or 7 days.

I have found though, if ypu post, then use your back button to go back somewhere, as many people do, if you stop back on the before you posted it page for a period, it will make another draft of what you already posted.

I DRAFTED this morning. 

How many times have I said or read that "the forum ate my post"?  I made a reply this morning that contained a quote so I looked back at it to insure that all was OK.  Well I looked but it was not there.  ??  

I posted it, surely I posted it, I know that I did, I thought I did, reckon there is a possibility that I didn't ??  Well, if I had it would be there.....but it wasn't, but it was in the draft file.

Is that a thumbs up?

[Magicman]

Absolutely !!!
