(Maybe the link needs to be more prominent with a title popup explaining it.) Edited: You got it before I posted the picture to the right place. You have to reach the Draft Posts via the Post Screen link or quick post link because that's how the topic information gets transfered. Ohterwise you'd have to do something really roundabout like copying the URL of the Thread or Board you want to post to into the Post Draft Post form. screenshot-yabbforumsoftware_com_2015-03-03_17-11-40.png ( 97 KB | 233 Downloads ) Perfection is not possible.

I'm not trying to be a pain, but that seems really confusing to me, and I obviously already forgot how to do it, once. But once I am informed a second time that I need to do it this way, it does work for me ... both here, and on my own forum. Sorry for my confusion.

That has the thread ID as part of the query string. Open the saved draft you want to use and then click PostMessage to Post it to the thread. (Same thing if you're starting a topic.)

Logically it should have an entry in Help, but really, how many people actually read the Help? (Maybe an entry in help and a prominent link to it?) Perfection is not possible.

This mod installed smoothly. There were no conflicts with other mods. No problems in getting it in place, and up and running. But I think there is a problem regarding it not being obvious how to post a message after you save it as a draft, because I seem to remember having to have it pointed out to me on your board. Now I have installed it on mine, and I cannot remember anything about how to post it. If you don't know where you are, but you don't care, you're not lost ... you're exploring! IP Logged
