How can i access my drafts?
-
I just know i've started a reply to some topic, but decided to postpone it. And in the mean time, i've made other replies and lost focus... Now i'm trying to remember what i was replying to, but can't; i've totally forgotten where it was. Any chance to finding it somewhere, and not having to open up every single topic i recall reading?

You can't. This is something that people have asked for, but it's pretty low-priority.

We will probably get to this at some point, but for now:
-
To access reply drafts, visit the topic(s) in question
-
To access topic draft, visit the topic list. (There can only be one topic draft at any time)
And remember that we save drafts on the server every ~40 seconds automatically. Drafts are discarded once your post succeeds.

And is it really that hard to compile a list of all topics i actually have a "reply draft" for?! Because my memory sucks and there's no chance in hell i can now remember WHICH were "the topic(s) in question". I can totally understand not working on a "tweak existing interface to add a distinctive feature for such threads" feature, but just having something like
Select title, url from all_topics join reply_drafts on fk_draft_topicid = pk_topic_id where draft_author = current_user
should not take more than... say, 10 minutes?Also: "every ~40 seconds"? What if i leave the topic: will the software just wait for the timeout to expire before the save is triggered? o.O

Technically its not a super complex change, we have a drafts table that stores all the drafts. I do think it belongs on the user page.
