Can we get an option to turn off savedraft?

[yeezusdisciple]

Ino im not the only who has constant problems with this

 

[miamiboy]

Yeah its annoying on mobile.

 

[bhergh]

Is there one we just don't ?

What, specifically, is the problem? 

 

[sea manup]

for me at least, the save draft that i discarded gets reset when i reload the page so i have to discard it each time

mostly only happens when on my phone

 

[mecks]

Happens to me too. Even between devices.

It's nothing major though...just a minor annoyance at times.

When i post in a thread my reply is saved in the post box. Then i come in the thread again and in the post box my previous post is saved. So i have to delete the words and then i could type my post

 

[Thats My Word]

Yeah. Sometimes, even after I submit the post, then refresh the thread, the saved draft will still be in the reply box.

Yeah..

 

[teamjordan79]

yea, save draft shouldn't be automatic

 

[bendover]

Happens all the time on my phone. Or when I'm about to post something the old post I posted comes up so I have to delete it to type something new....hope that makes sense

There is a delay when typing on an iPad.

I noticed it also but hadn't planned on saying anything. I just know to hit the trash can "delete draft" button when I come to post. I suppose it would be better if the save draft feature were optional though.

Also, anyone ever notice (on ios mobile nt) that sometimes when NT loads completely, and you're scrolling, then all of a sudden, you're taken back to the top of the page? And I'm not activating that ios feature where you tap the top of the screen to quick scroll to the top either. ???

Yup does it like 2-3 times and I'd have to hit the down arrow to go back to the type box.

Savedraft is horrible on mobile smh

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Nah save draft is clutch. My only probably is it turns on when it wants. How do I turn it on, permanently?

Just stop giving your two cents. And you won't have to worry about a draft being saved.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.  

Those obviously should not be running on our site.  It's been reported to Huddler and I expect that they'll be removed ASAP.

I'll pass along the draft saving complaints as well, but I can't make any promises there, unfortunately.  There's a "discard draft" link in the bottom left of the post editor (it looks like a garbage can on mobile) if you want to get rid of any previously saved drafts. 

As much as I'd like for it to be a preference, to give you control over whether you'd like to use it or not, it's not my call to make.  I don't own the platform.  Each new preference makes bug testing more difficult as it introduces another variable, so they want to avoid introducing new preferences if they can help it.  If it were merely a choice of making life harder for the well-compensated developers or making life harder for you, obviously I'd side with you all - but it's not that simple.  A platform that's become too complicated for its handlers to efficiently bug test makes everyone's lives worse.  Those of you who remember our last platform can attest to that. 

Hopefully they'll fix the remaining bugs and that will minimize your desire to shut it off entirely.
