Dumb Question - saving drafts ??

I had just finished a rather involved post. Did something dumb and got a new screen asking me if I wanted to save my post as a draft. I sure didn't want to lose it so I clicked yes.

Now, how the heck can I find the draft and make the post???

Hi Rusty, congrats on being the new Moderator.

Click on User Control Panel, make sure the overview tab is highlighted. Go down to Manage drafts.

BTW, don't feel bad. I have done it a few times. Most forums have the submit button on the left, the left button here is the Save button. That is what you probably did. Freaked me out the first time I did it too.

Thanks, Kim,
Worked like a champ! The last thing I wanted to do was retype a lengthy post.

I'm trying not to let all my new power go to my head 8-)

If you don't select "yes" it will just revert to the previous screen.

OK, Jane, thanks

Welllllllll - I just did it (after typing the word "thanks" above). Sure 'nuff, I was back to the half-finished post. Not at all like Windows, Elements or a few other things where, if you answer "No" to a save option, it's gone, gone, gone.

Nice to know.
