How do i post a topic that I saved as a draft?

Post by p.smith » Thu Nov 24, 2016 10:37 pm

I have just written a post for sales and wants and saved it in drafts but now can't get back to the compiled post and the draft post does not have submit key. How do i resolve this problem? Drafts seem a bit useless if you can't post them later.

Test draft post.

Here you are able to select the draft you want to continue writing. Your current post will be cancelled, all current post contents will be deleted. View, edit and delete drafts within your User Control Panel.

Once happy with the post, click "Submit"

Go back to compose a message then at the bottom of the draft page you get load draft box. It only appears after you have saved a draft for that section.. ... click it..

Have you tried that? I couldn't get it to work.

Afaik. You have to go through the User Control Panel to access the saved draft. There is a notification to that effect, once you create the draft.
