Where is the Draft Copy?

[yorab]

I notice that the forum Auto-Saves a post while I'm writing as a draft copy in case something goes wrong. Question is, where do I find that draft copy?

You do not find that "draft copy" since it is part of the software.

If you bail out of the edit screen before posting the reply (I do that frequently...), then you go back to the thread and hit "reply" again, it will ask you if you want to restore auto-saved content. Click Yes and the saved stuff comes back.

Ok, good. Twice now I've hit "Reply to Thread" instead of "Post Quick Reply" after writing a reply. My reply is instantly gone and is nowhere to be found even though it Auto-Saved. I know--I'm an idiot for doing that, but I thought that it would be great if I could simply go to the Auto-Saved copy once again and submit properly without writing again.

I guess this will work if I purposely leave the edit screen, but not if I hit the "Reply to Thread" button twice.

Next time that happens, just hit Ctrl Z and it will come back. But, if you hit that reply button twice, it's gone forever.
