Does this forum have a draft box?

How can I save a post that I have not totally finished, and later come back and finish it~so I can post it? Can someone help me?

There's no draft section in this type forum, but you can copy and paste and save in an editor for later. I always have a web authoring editor open to write in, then cut and paste into forum. If you write a piece that takes a lot of time, or have to go away for a while when writing, sometimes the forum will time-out and you might lose your whole message when you go to save it. So an editor is the way to go.

Many will use microsoft word to type their replies and save it as they go throughout the day. When they are done, they copy and paste it on the forum

Thanks for the help!

For those who have Gmail account (or want to have one) can use Google Document to create document and auto saves it for later posting.  It's free!

Don't know if you guys are aware, but there is a mod available with SMF to save posts as a draft. I have it in use on my own forum and it seems to work fine. Admittedly there's no real need if you just use a text editor instead, but it is a little more convenient.
