Have you ever yelled at your PC/browser for crashing right in the middle of writing a post about Life, the Universe and everything? The answer is 42, which is the average number of times in a year you'll get to thank Pete for writing this feature.
If you're writing a post but feel like finishing it later, you don't have to keep that tab open... Just use the Save Draft feature to access the post later in your profile area, draft section. You can then resume the edit process and finally complete your message. If the topic is locked before your draft is completed, you're given the option to post it as a new topic. Drafts now have a maximum lifetime, avoiding abandoned drafts that are no longer going to be posted. And user can delete all of their drafts in a single click.
Even better, your posts are automatically saved every 30 seconds (can be configured), so that you don't lose your post if your computer crashes. And finally, Pete added to Wedge the same feature for personal messages. Now you know what to do.
