restore draft

[honegod]

context:
I was typing away and the system locked up, shut itself off and restarted, windows, what can one do ?

I have seen an icon that implies that what I am typing is being saved as a draft, just what I need at the moment.

but I see no way to access the draft that was saved,the page came up blank and fresh when I reopened firefox.

no icon for "open the last post I have as a saved draft"
my thought is you save the post, so when I leave the page and come back it is still there, as I left it.
and that process works fine without me needing to do anything, excellent.
except in this case I do want to interact with it.

I didn't type anything on that page, so as to overwrite the file.
hopefully typing THIS didn't erase that draft.

Drafts are saved by thread. If I go into certain threads, replies I thought about adding are still there, waiting to be posted.

are still there, waiting to be posted.

that has been my experience, not this time.
as it is not evident, I wish to evoke it.

that,(whatever it was) worked, my missing draft post is back .
thank you to whoever was responsible.
