Greetings: I post reguarly and sometimes I hit a random key that knocks me off the board or out of the thread. However, what I had composed is not saved as a draft and I can't retrieve it. It's just gone.
Is there a key I can turn on to activate such feature to automatically save such posts? It is really annoying, totally operator error, of course, but it would be wonderful if those vanishing "pre-posts" went "somewhere" they could be retrieved, completed and posted Any ideas?

Hi karen8787, we turned on a feature awhile ago that automatically “saves as a draft” theoretically, when you get booted and you go back to a post it is supposed to give you a message saying something like “ we found this draft would you like to use it?” I have had it happen several times where it worked, but sometimes if I crash or get kicked off site, it is just gone unfortunately. |

Thank you. Maybe someday it will appear for me!

karen8787, One way around this is to compose your post in Wordpad (or it's equivalent) and then copy and paste it when you are ready to post.

karen8787, weird, I just tried it and it worked. I started to write this post, hit the back arrow, then clicked back to this thread. A pop-up box with my text showed up that said “load draft.” I am on an iPad, I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

I am using Chrome and even if it knocks me out of the post or the board completely most of the time it will have the pop up box with a draft saved of what I had already posted.

I get nothing. If I am knocked off my post disappears completely. Really irritating. I am on the website, if that matters.

karen8787 , borntexan just posted this in another thread, I am sorry I didn’t know about this until now. “If you go into edit your profile, go to settings and scroll down to where it says enable drafts and make sure the yes button is checked. I haven't had any problems losing posts since I checked yes. I don't know if it's automatic or not but you can also check that.” Thanks again for the info Becky!
