Why isn't there a Save as Draft function for a discussion post? Literally just wasted 90 minutes of my life because this archaic forum doesn't have standard quality of life features... practically expected these days...
Some people have reported that not working in the past. I rewrote this post three times and it didn't recall this second sentence on one of them. The automatic save feature doesn't immediately save on quit, it saves on some other time period.

Well, thankfully, I remember the "form" of my post is like BGE 19, 24, 9, 19 something something BoT Through Will to P.
Reply to Outlander that is the stone age... and Im using my phone. Geesh, sitting at a desk pools the blood. And although I have a desk I can walk at and notes I can type in there on my phone... no... I think I'll raise the question as to why this place can't do save as draft functionality when comments are saved... I guess TFP is just hosted by a company not owned by the owner of TFP.
Personally, my experience with hardcoded is that you can often figure a creative way around the hardcoded limitations.

Find the draft button. It’s in various places, depending on the particular device you’re using. Push on that and it will show the things that are drafts which you can then erase.

Geez, this is a free service run by volunteers. To quote Sideshow Bob, what we need here is more thinking and Les Wynan.

Reply to T Clark Getting to the bottom of why TPF doesn't have a standard Save as Draft function is the point. There's one post I could find about drafts and Jamal said he would see about getting it implemented...
So the only information I had to go off of was that Jamal could see if a save as draft feature could be implemented for the inbox... So I made the post to see if it could be implemented for the website.
Questioning something isn't whining dumbass. But I can see how a "Christian" could confuse the two...

There’s a difference between asking a question and whining. And I’m not a Christian, with or without quotations.

Reply to T Clark I'd wager you are, regardless. Especially since you attempt to throw around the foundation of their thought so readily... a quick search of a few key terms and yeah... you're knee deep homie... hence "Christian."
God damn man, put the Nietzsche down and go outside.

Reply to fdrake that has nothing to do with Nietzsche... and I've been reading everything but Nietzsche lately... because I've already developed a careful mastery of Nietzsche.
Besides, as T Clark says, the new discussions get saved as drafts in the drafts section.

Matthew 27:45–47 - Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And God replied 'what we need here is more dying and less whining.'

Reply to T Clark regardless, thanks for the tip about the drafts section. :up:
I read BG&E, Genealogy of Morals and Zarathustra years ago. I enjoyed them.

Reply to fdrake Some people ready many books, some people read a quality selection of books many times. For example, since January Ive read and listened to Quine's Pursuit of Truth like 6 times. Once is never enough for my methodology.

This took me a lot of time to figure out.

I implore you to release that syphilitic mustachoid from your heart.
More Stone Age babble.
