Clear post/delete draft option?

[noblegiraffe]

It looks like there's been a change so that if you start typing a post and the page refreshes or if you go to a different page and come back, your draft post is still there. This is great, because I have lost so many posts through pages refreshing. BUT, if I start typing a post and I decide against it, I used to just refresh the page to get rid of it. Now it's always there until I manually delete it.

This is mildly annoying. Would it be possible to add a 'clear post' or 'delete draft' button that would get rid of it more easily please?

Hi OP,

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll have a chat about it and get back to you.

Even more annoying, the draft post wouldn't delete for me earlier, an emoticon just hung around and I could get rid of it. I tried highlighting, deleting, refreshing etc.

Also, there appears to be a bug - if you have a draft post in the post box, then the post box is always the focus of the thread.

e.g. if you draft a post, decide not to post it, navigate away from the thread and then later there are loads of new posts on the thread so you click the thread link from Threads I'm On, instead of taking you to the unread posts, it drags you back down to the posting box and your draft post. Same if you get a notification that you've been thanked, it doesn't take you to the post that has been thanked, it takes you to the draft post.

That's in Safari on my iPad, btw.
