    Ok I have a quick question. I was working on a forum post that I wasn't able to finish in a day. I saved my draft, but then when I checked it the next day, my post was gone. I've been looking all over to see where I can see my incomplete drafts, but I was unable to find anything. Is there a way I can recover my forum post, or do I need to start over?

    I ain’t sure on you’re question, but you may want to amend the title of the thread, at first I thought it was going to be a thread about some kind of a “threat” you had received in the forums :o

    Sometimes if I leave the tab (not closing it, just opening another) and come back, when the page is 'live' again the draft will vanish.

    When that happens it returns after a refresh - although if the forums aren't playing nice I'll lose it forever.
    A game of luck, really.

    For posts long enough that I don't want to take a chance, I'll type them up in a text editor first and paste from there.
