	See picture. (Maybe the link needs to be more prominent with a title popup explaining it.) Edited: You got it before I posted the picture to the right place. You have to reach the Draft Posts via the Post Screen link or quick post link because that's how the topic information gets transfered. Ohterwise you'd have to do something really roundabout like copying the URL of the Thread or Board you want to post to into the Post Draft Post form.

	OK ... so you -have- to go to the bottom of the page at the post box, and then click on 'See Saved Drafts' because even though it takes you to the same CP Panel Post page, if you try to go directly from the CP Panel, there is no post button. I'm not trying to be a pain, but that seems really confusing to me, and I obviously already forgot how to do it, once. But once I am informed a second time that I need to do it this way, it does work for me ... both here, and on my own forum. Sorry for my confusion.

	Problem is, I always see a save draft button, but never a post message button, here on this forum, or on my own.

	Click on the Saved Drafts link (See Saved Drafts) by the 'You have x of xx Draft Posts saved.' That has the thread ID as part of the query string. Open the saved draft you want to use and then click PostMessage to Post it to the thread. (Same thing if you're starting a topic.)

	But meanwhile, how -do- I post my draft message?

	I havne't come up with a good way of explaining how to post a draft post to a thread. Logically it should have an entry in Help, but really, how many people actually read the Help? (Maybe an entry in help and a prominent link to it?)

	OK, I know there was already a post on this, back when we were testing it on this forum, but I cannot find it. This mod installed smoothly. There were no conflicts with other mods. No problems in getting it in place, and up and running. But I think there is a problem regarding it not being obvious how to post a message after you save it as a draft, because I seem to remember having to have it pointed out to me on your board. Now I have installed it on mine, and I cannot remember anything about how to post it.
