Would it be possible for members to save a Discussion board post as a draft?

Thanks! ~Jessica

Kevin Fielding: Hi Jessica, its certainly something we could consider, but just to share why we haven't done this in the past. We feel that topics often range on a variety of subjects, and if one were to save a post as a draft and return later their reply may be completely out of context by the time it is posted. Out of curiosity, what is the main reason your members seem to want this feature?

Thanks,
Kevin
Jessica: Hi Kevin - The reason our members requested this function is because they often refer to older posts on different parts of the board when writing a response. The ability to check such 'references' without losing what they've written would be useful.

thank you! ~Jessica
ADACarolyn: Personally, when I need to reference another post, I just open another tab in my browser, so I can have multiple tabs open. Certainly, I can have multiple tabs open at once and copy or a URL from one post to use in another. I wonder if that would be too confusing to suggest to your users.
ADACarolyn: I meant to say, "copy text or a URL".
kcoleman: That's a great suggestion, ADACarolyn! Thanks for the input!
