Where are my draft posts stored? [Solved]

Working on a post, figured it would be a good idea to save as draft - now when I click on 'View your posts' - I don't see it. Where are my saved drafts stored?

Many thanks - Dave

User Control Panel -> Manage drafts

P.S. This post belonged under "Forum Stuff" not "General Questions"
Edit: Thanks, mystery staff member :D

And don't forget to mark your thread as [SOLVED] (Edit the subject line of your INITIAL post)

No problem.

Before I mark as solved, I can see my draft post now (thank you), but I see no 'load' option or 'post'. Do I have to copy and paste and create a new post (in the forum area you suggest?)

Thanks - Dave

Apologies - just found the load draft option.

I am aware of the [Solved] edit protocol/method, but confess I'm not always certain where to post in the board. I've just posted my draft, about VirtualBox - but wasn't sure where that should go either. Suggestion: might it be worth having an area of the board purely for virtualisation - big topic, lot's of technical issues?

I had a message I was working on, did save draft, went away, came back, accidentally closed the browser tab. Now I can't get back to it, using browser history gets me to before I started creating it. When I look in drafts on this board I only see an old one (not relevant). Maybe it'll come back overnight, I'm too tired to start over just now.

"Manage drafts" is still there in User Control Panel, same as was answered in this topic 8 years ago.

I just used the draft function for this post to check it was working. Confirmed.
