Saving a Draft in a Group Moves the Post to 'Social Groups'

I've noticed something odd when I compose a question in a group and then save a draft. If I later go to 'My Drafts' and click on the message, it no longer shows the group that I had composed the message in. Instead it's been put into 'Social Groups".

And sometimes, I'll also get this pop-up error message in the bottom left:

I have an older draft that I've been hanging onto for a while (trying to absolutely make sure that I'm stuck first), but that post is correctly linked to the group that I composed it in:

Is anyone else having this issue? I haven't tried posting from the "social groups" that it put it in, so I don't know if it just corrects itself anyway.

I've tried saving drafts in Ireland Research, Canadian Research and US Military Records, and all have been doing this. It definitely used to just stay linked to the right group.

Thanks.

    Thanks for mentioning that pop-up in the bottom left. I've been getting that for weeks, and reporting, without resolution. I get that one every time I try to include the URL of a record in my post.

    @Ashlee C. You had asked if anyone else was seeing that error. Here's an example.

    I've had it too, on my last 2 comments that had URLs in.

    Thanks for the screenshots and for confirming that this issue is still occurring. I've been experiencing it too. The good news is that the URLs are still working. We're actively working on a fix, but it's taking longer than expected.

    Well - working after a fashion, @Ashlee C. Most of mine just post as text, not as a working link.

    Yes, I have also had that error message quite a few times. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the drafts being removed from the group it was saved to, though.

    Is anyone else having that issue?
