Draft Posts




Topic started on 8-6-2007 @ 06:04 PM by schuyler


There's something wrong with my draft posts. I've got two now that I can't see. Draft Posts are kept in the member center. The first one I saved I thought just didn't work. I just saved a second one and I see there are two lines, each with a red delete to the left, but the rest of the line, presumably a title and the forum, are invisible. I changed from dark to light to see if that made a difference, but to no avail. I moused over the areas in case I just couldn't see the text, but it was really there, some black text on black background issue, but a mouseover does not betray that anything is there. I just have two blank lines.

Can anyone help me out here?

Yeah, some of us had the same problem, including myself.

Thread..


I think it's some kind of glitch, because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

It's a pretty new feature, so they might still be tweaking it.

Of course. I've done that many times in Word offline. But this is a feature I thought would be handy on the boards. You get interrupted in mid-post, draft save it and get back to it. I know any number of ways to get the same job done; it's just that I've got two drafts saved now that appear to be in limbo. I can't even rescue them to copy/paste them somewhere else.

ah, okay. I must have misunderstood. I've never even tried using the "Save Reply as a Draft" function here, but I do understand how frustrating it must be to have put together a post, and have it disappear.
