Hi

Our forum is new, so our members are getting used to it and lots of questions and suggestions are coming our way, which is great.

We have been asked if it is possible for the forum to save draft posts, to be finished later, and not posted immediately.

This has been asked of the main forums as well as the private messaging system.

May not be a critical feature, but thought I would ask in case this has been discussed before.

Thanks

Hey AUSOM Webmaster,

Currently it's not possible to save unpublished posts as drafts - I've only know of the question coming up once before and the answer was that the main problem would be storage. A draft post would have to be saved in a different database table to preserve published post order and drafts by nature often get abandoned. That and the fact that it's only been requested once - It has been noted (2 - 3 years ago) and now of course, but there are no current plans.

Happy to help with any questions you have of course!
