Saving drafts option for posting?

(1/3) > >>

Scarlet:
Hello All,

This section says I can post design quirks and complaints, but this post is intended to be a possible suggestion for design improvement.  If there are others who feel the same way about my idea then the "possible suggestion" becomes a suggestion.  And if there is someone on the Cassiopaea Forum with the ability and desire to do the extra work to make it happen then that's awesome, but if not, no worries.  :)

IMO it would be convienant if we had the option to save drafts of posts on this site.  Sometimes I visit the forum from my work computer and only have limited windows of opportunities to read and/or post.  There have been numerous times when I've been in the middle of writing a post, but I've run out of 'time.'  At these times I'll email the text to myself in order to continue working on it later from my computer at home.  Also, sometimes if I'm at home and posting, but I need to leave my computer for some reason, I'll save the text in a Word document just to be safe.  

Every time these incidents occur I think of how convenient it would be to have a "save to drafts" option on here.  I'm not sure what anyone else thinks about this idea, or how costly and/or difficult it would be to add, but I figured I'd post it up on here to get some input.  :D

Hi Scarlet,

Your suggestion requires a modification to be added to the forum software. Sometimes adding a modification could create problems but we do have super Mr. Scott,  :thup:  so I'll highlight your request to him.  :)

Scarlet:
Thanks, Vulcan59!  :D

Mr. Scott:
Voila!

Saved drafts are accessible from the Post page, as well as your Profile page.

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely wonderful!  I just saved a draft to test it out and it was so easy!   :wow:  I have a feeling others will find this option very handy as well.  :D  Ooh and I've also noticed there are now keyboard shortcuts and additional options which I will definitely be using!  Thank you so much for making all of these cool changes, Mr. Scott!!   I really appreciate the time and efforts you and Vulcan59 have made to make this all happen.  :hug2:
