My suggestion is that a user would be able to make a draft of a post on any topic, and after 30 days of not editing or posting these drafts they would be deleted. This would also work for new topics, for example when one would create a new topic they could save it as a draft and only they could see it, they also might be able to reserve up to 3 posts on it. I think that this feature would be incredibly usefull for users making the following things on the forums:
– Guides
– Shops
– Any sort of long post
– Like everything else, I would use this often ;p
I think that this feature would help the forums a lot and allow users to be much more productive and thoughtfull with their posts.
Before Posting
Please say why you do or do not support this instead of just posting “Support”, “No support”, or “+1”
– Mockups comming soon

Usually I don't need to write very long posts, but when I do, the method of saving it into a text document if I need to do something else and then pasting it back into a new reply or a new topic generally works well for me. What I would like to see though is a method of previewing posts where the width of the preview page is exactly the same as the actual size of the posts, since the difference between the widths of these two components caused me some issues when I tried to do some advanced formatting when I was making a new topic. I'm assuming with your post draft thing, from the description you've given the draft tool will provide a post preview that's in the exact same format as a public post.

I would like to see a mockup of this since it sounds quite interesting.

lYes, it would be quite a lot like the sandbox thing I mentioned in my other suggestion, exept it would save what you wrote on that post, so when you go back to it in the post new reply box you would see what you had saved as a draft

Support. I like making guides and shops, so this would be super useful for me.

would love it, there could be a Save as draft button near the submit button
