    Title says it all. I've looked around for 10 minutes and I give up. Help?

    AFAIK, if the save doesn't appear in the input box below, then that is all. It does seem to do a good job of autosaving and popping up message drafts. Just for clarity, I think you only get one save draft? Basically, just the current message.

    It should be in the thread in which it saved. For example, you started typing something in this thread but did not post reply, you then go to another thread to read it, you can come back to this one and it will be there. That is if it was idle long enough to autosave.

    So I was in the for sale forum trying to post when it told me I needed 50 posts to sell something. Saved it but still don't see it anywhere. Maybe cause I never actually started a thread. Was going to leave it there until I hit 50. +1

    I think it normally only saves it for a few days or so. But maybe since you didn't yet have a high enough post count it didn't save it at all. :facepalm:

    I would assume that if the thread doesn't exist (a post to start the thread never actually happened), there's no reference point to go back to. Fortunately, you never made the post, and you didn't catch a ban for breaking rules. Unfortunately, you've gotta start your thread all over. Theres a "contact us/chat with staff" option. You could always see if they can recover it somehow if it was truly a lengthy and cumbersome post to re-do, but I'd be extremely surprised if they could even do that considering it never officially made the rounds.
