I was writing a reply and then went to another page for a moment. I seemed to have lost my writing, but I thought it is automatically saved. How do I access it? Thanks.

I've noticed and wondered the same thing. I'm pretty sure what we write starts getting saved only after a certain amount of time once we start writing it.

hmm

If you start a reply in one thread- go to another, and then come back to your original thread- the saved message should be there--in a shaded like box that you click on, it becomes a normal looking post and hit post. No sure how long it remains- I had mine stay that way for a period of time.

The button that looks like a floppy disk allows you to save or delete saved drafts. Drafts are saved automatically every 30 seconds or so, but a newly saved draft will overwrite any previous one, i.e., if you start typing a new message, it'll delete your old draft.
