A mod that has long been needed, this one reads your mind to get those thoughts that you've been trying to put to paper in a rational manner, but just can't seem to find the words for.

Well worth a thought!


OK, have tested this. Like Bill, I had problems figuring out where to find things and how to post things, but once I figured it out, I quite liked it.

Just one of those things that has a slight learning curve to understand it.
  

If you don't know where you are, but you don't care, you're not lost ... you're exploring!

This is a post to test the Save Draft function. At this stage, this post is not meant to be public ... and now it is thanks to Dandello's instructions as follows:

Dandello wrote on Feb 8th, 2015 at 4:09pm:
Open the regular post screen -> click on See Saved Drafts -> click on the draft you want to open. It will open in a post box set to the proper board or message.

As I now more clearly see how to do this, it's actually quite easy, and the way to do it makes common sense.

Bottom line: This function works quite wonderfully. Smiley


  

Morning, noon, or night, have a great one!

(And I'm having problems with the html_5 template here.  Sad)

Thanks. I didn't actually see that.

In any case, I was easily able to pull up my saved draft, but I'm still trying to figure out how to actually post it. Have I missed seeing that link perhaps? With this 2nd saved draft, I simply copied it, and then posted it here with some additions, which I might add is a nifty option.

Saving a draft worked fine for me, but I'm confused about how to post a saved draft. Is the next step supposed to be copying the saved draft, and then posting it?

I'm seeing some weirdness I hadn't noticed before on either focus or mouseover when in QuickPost.  Angry

You'll all see a new button on the Posting page  - 'Save Draft'. 
You'll also see a new link in UserCP -> Posts

JonB asked for this ages ago and I finally got to it.

Please test and report before I post the actual mod.
