Thread Saving--Is it possible?

Just wondering if there is anyway that a new thread can be saved/stored to allow you to come back, open and continue?

It would be nice to start a thread, create your story but have the option to save it somewhere and be able to open and continue the new thread at a later time.

Sometimes having to cook dinner, change a load of laundry or unexpected situations get in the way of posting a new thread immediately.

Just a thought.

Hmmm I'm not sure this can be dome with regular threads.
It CAN be sort of done with the bulletin board blog (link in blue navbar) for members with 50+ posts. There you can post whatever you like at anytime and choose to allow other members to comment or not. Have you tried it?
Thx - Marko

Well I just explored the "blog" and found that if you go into control panel and select Custom Blog, you can save and edit there.

I guess after my thoughts are gathered, I could simply do a cut & paste to post into the regular thread forums.

Thanks Marko!

There's no 'draft' function for threads. Once they are posted, anyone else can comment.

What I do occasionally is just copy stuff to a notepad or word document then use it later. Hope that helps - Marko

What I find time consuming is just trying to write a half decent thread then managing/uploading the attachments (pictures), all in a matter of little time.

Then something happens where I have to tend to something else and simply cannot finish the thread that I was working on.

I'm going to try the Custom Blog on my next thread, write my story, insert pictures, try to save then go back and edit it.

I'm still learning all the ins-and-outs so this will be a new discovery if it works for me.
