A D(r)aft Question!

I was in the middle of composing a post but needed to switch machines. How do I get back my saved draft to continue it?

The forum doesn't save draft posts. If the draft is still up on the other machine, you could copy it to a USB drive and transfer it to your current computer that way. The other option is to post the draft and then edit it when you are on the other computer.

If you saved it before the change pad it from your saved drafts in the user control panel.

So what does "Save Draft" do?

User Control Panel > Overview > Manage drafts

Sorry, I mislead you. Do this instead: Click on your user name in the upper right corner --> Select User Control Panel --> click on Manage Drafts.

Yes, I already tried that but it says that there are no saved drafts!

[Melber]

after clicking save draft there's a window which warns that only the text gets saved and any attachments will be lost. Sure you also clicked yes on that?

"The" Draft has just turned up. I suppose a consequence of trying to work on two machines semi-simultaneously with parallel issues of updating via SPM in MX23.5 on the Tosh which provoked me to installing MX23.6 on the Lenovo. Fundamentally the process results in a "Not all packages could be retrieved - continue Y/N" . Hopefully I'll complete the original post under the title "An error occurred..." (that may become a link!)

EDIT But now can't yet see how to complete and submit it...at the top of that page it says ...

"Here you can view, edit and delete your saved drafts." [NB only a Save option ] Simplest solution may be to Copy and Paste into a new topic...
