Saved Drafts Disapearing

#1
I wrote a long draft a little less than a wee ago, and it's gone now.

I'm pretty sure I saved the draft.

Is there a limit to how long drafts are saved, or is this just another quirk of the site?

disappearing

and a WEEK AGO, NOT A WEE AGO, DAMN IT

I can't edit my damn post, even though I only made it 4 minutes ago

You can only edit in some section of the forum, May.
I like the new custom title. :)
Let's tag @Freya and see if she knows how long a draft saves for.

Hi @may71 From my experience, I believe they disappear after a certain time, whether you save them intentionally or it was automatic, no matter the length. Also, pretty sure they don't get saved at all sometimes... Other times, the saving button doesn't even work, so you know it won't be saved if you notice it. I save my super long posts on my computer because in general on the internet it only takes a tiny glitch or a lost connection for a second, and I can only recommend you to do the same ;) Sorry for your lost post, I know the frustration.

I want to say something about it! There's one time, I was writing a poem on SF, but I had something to do so I left. The next day I want to continue with that, then I found omg my poem was lost! That's a poem so I have to start all over again, and make it more perfect. And I got to know if I'll post something really long here I'd like to type them somewhere else first.:)
