I was writing a long new thread in the building forum and saving and clicking save draft. Unfortunately my computer then crashed after 5 min. How do I retrieve the draft as I cant find a way of doing it?
How does save draft work?

You may find it's where you left off.
Ok I see you have to go back to the same forum page again and start a new thread then it appears??
I think some better instructions or guidance on the site would help explain how this works for others.....would be good.

If you go to the reply you were typing you may find it is there.
But it was a new thread I had started
Top right you will see you user name. Roll over it and a drop down box will appear. Look for your content there.

If you go back to the sub-forum of choice and start a new thread, it should appear if it has worked. If it's a different sub-forum it won't work, it has to be the same forum.
But will it always still be there in draft in the same forum, if I leave it for x number of days and if I reply to other articles or start new threads in other sub forums?
