As I'm working late this week, I composed a post with several quotes last night, as time was marching on I saved the draft.
Today, the saved draft has disappeared.
How exactly do saved drafts work? Thought it might be stored by the forum. Got a feeling it's something to do with the browser.

I'm not really sure how they work, all I know is that the delete draft button doesn't work (or it just immediately saves it again, rendering deleting it useless).

The delete draft button works for me - you have to press refresh after using it.

Have you tried refreshing the page? Saving drafts has always worked for me (a Godsend given the length of my trip reports!) but occasionally needed refreshing first.

I've found the answer, there's a time limit set by admin, I must have timed out.
The screenshots I've seen for the software we use, seems to default to 72 hours. Not sure what it is set for on here.
