Lost draft? Or can't find it.

[SoCha]

I recently typed up a long article and I saved it as a draft. I came back to add some things and finish it up but I can't seem to find out where they put the drafts here... or if my draft just got deleted. I know I saved it because I remember seeing the "saved as a draft" icon. I would also need help knowing how to create a poll with my article. I would be so grateful if anyone helps me!
Thank you in advance.

Click on "Your Articles" then look for "Draft Articles"

I find the saved draft feature to be the very best. Often I wonder why a post of mine hasn't shown up. I go back to that thread and it shows up light gray which means I forgot to hit "post reply" again

It's a great feature! My iPad crashes a lot, but with this feature my my replies and posts are never lost when it does crash.

I don't have a box for drafts.

How long ago did you start the article?

I was in the middle of writing it. I accidentally hit the backspace button and the page reverted to the previous page. Tried going forward but the article was gone.

Oh no! I'm not positive, but I think you have to save the article as draft, publish it, or something like this can happen.

I just did a quick test in Chrome.

Started a new article. Wrote for about 70 seconds. Hit the back button, then forward button, and the content was still there.

... then I navigated away from BYC, clicke on "Create article" and went to the same category, and my content was still there.

Not sure if this is saved locally in my browser cache, if it's browser specific, or something else, but there was an unsaved "draft" of the text I wrote still there.

All that said, if I'm writing something super long, I'll either save it often, or write it offline in a text document and copy it over to the site.
