Saving Draft Posts in Forums


I am trying to save a draft post. I looked through the instructions and came across this:

Quote:
Draft entries allow you to compose an entry in stages. To create a draft entry, create an entry as normal but before submitting the entry, find Publish Status in the Miscellaneous Options on the lower section of the entry creation page. This option defaults to Publish Now.

Change Publish Now to Draft and then save. Alternatively, you may press the Save Draft button at any time.

Your Pending and Draft entries are only viewable by you until they are published.
However, on looking at my miscellaneous options there is no 'publish Status' to change.

Can anyone point the way?

I think you'll find that applies to BLOG posts not forum posts.

Drafts will be coming to LQ as part of an upcoming code update. Thanks for the feedback.

You can see the next platform LQ will be built on at http://www.chromeosquestions.org/forum.php (and from there I'm not sure what direction we'll take).

Thanks for update all. It would be useful to be able to save drafts. At the moment I can post and then edit that post as I go along?
