Auto Save Draft in New Discussion

Add an automatic save draft every '2 minutes'

It takes me awhile to get photos prepped and in the correct order, write up done, and fuss with wordsmithing.

If I accidently click elsewhere, cat bumps my elbow, etc ... I lose everything and have to start over writing everything up. Because I neglected to click save draft every 2 minutes.

Let the computer help me. Please.

    Well, I'm in the middle of responding to a comment on another thread and I notice that the "Save Draft" button on the bottom of the screen (like this one below)

    never changes from "Saving Draft" after I click the button to save the draft.

    I may have to amend my initial problem definition.

    The autosave seems to be working on this page but its saving after just a few seconds. On the 2nd page I have active above, it never changes its 'saving draft' status.

    My statistics professor would say 'on average it is working just fine'. To which I would roll my eyes and do the Lurch 'ohhhhhh' impression (for all you Addams family fans).

    @bekasu Is this continuous saving draft behavior still happening?
