First post - Saved Draft - Vanished!

[Jim Kelly]

Greetings!

Is this a forum bug or am I blind?

I thought it prudent to 'Save draft' before clicking 'Preview', making a possible edit, then clicking 'Submit'.

BUT, my carefully composed first post has vanished; no obvious place to find the 'Drafts' (I did eventually find a 'Manage Drafts' but it said I had none!).

BTW, I have just checked again, and I see my draft has eventually arrived, thankfully!

This was most disconcerting for a new forum user, maybe the process can be dealt with a bit more sensitively? An obvious 'Your drafts' button, and a comforting message if a delay has been inflicted for whatever reason.

Best wishes,

This forum operates on a third-party platform, phpBB, and we don't have control over its functionalities.

Personally, I only use the Preview and Submit buttons:

• Preview allows you to check how your post will appear before submitting.

• Submit is used to finalize and post your content.

If needed, you can also edit your post after submission.
