A way to find old drafts of posts

[Ultimathunder]

I sometimes start making a post, have to go do something irl, and forget about it later. Is it possible to make a way to see all saved drafts of unfinished posts in one spot, so this problem won't happen? Or is there already a way that I don't know of?

Thanks for considering.

Does it not show up when you open the page again, in the Quick Reply box?

xenFORO saves drafts like gmail and stuff do after every few minutes..

I think he means "see ALL drafts in one place."

Yea, I think a good comparison would be to how gmail has a drafts tab, where one can see all unfinished drafts. Something like that

For now, I would suggest writing long posts in Notepad or MS Word. That way you always have a copy if something happens to your browser.

Ultima,

Not an in-forum solution, but I just thought I'd bring it up for you to take a look at - Lazarus, an extension for Chrome/Firefox, makes preserving text entered in forms a lot easier. Using it, I can just reload a page, and get a drop-down list of things I've entered into forms recently - even if they're huge blocks of text. Just a generally useful thing to have. :)
