Removing a draft response

S Mac

Sept. 10, 2021 Steve left us. You are missed.
A time or two I have inadvertently touched a quote button and it ended as a draft response to a thread. I have tried just x'ing it away, which works until I revisit the thread, back again. Is there some way to make it stay gone?

:eek: :headscratch: When ya find out please let me know. o_O It for some strange reason unbeknownst to me seems to be a function of the forum software. Only way I've figured out is to delete it and make a new post in it's place. Kind of a PITA but it is what it is I guess.

It's happened to me, too, but may have a solution. After deleting the draft, I press the "period" button twice, then enter that as my reply. When I "go back", there is nothing there -- no original draft, no two periods.

Delete your text of the draft, Click on "SAVE DRAFT," and the click on "DELETE DRAFT."

The "save draft" icon is the little floppy disc icon to the left of the gear all the way on the right, just above what you're typing.

Makes all kinds of sense to old fuds, doesn't it?;)

"The way," today is to poke, swipe or pinch and most "fixes" are designed to work within the first three attempts. No more thinking, folks. That's too old school.

OK, I made that part up, but it does seem true.

At large, whereabouts unknown.
The "drafts" icon is at the far right, next to the last. It sort of looks like an old world floppy disc with a down arrow beside it.

I use it a lot.

IF I delete (control A, backspace) everything in the box and click "delete draft it works....but on the mobile version there is no option for drafts so the draft either hangs out in space or gets deleted next time I'm on a PC.

The other annoying thing is the loss some time ago of the ability to self-delete entire messages that have already been posted.
