It would be nice if drafts had a option to delete all, achieve, or delete over time. I was looking and I had 100 plus drafts ... or something. Doesn't seem like a good thing if there are others like me.

    Ah I see you too are a person who writes a paragraph to argue with someone and then decides “well.... I’m not sure actually” and then goes to another topic and forgets about the old one completely.

    It looks like I hand cleared my list back in early 2017 sometime. But, I've posted more than once with my original draft still attacked to the post ahead of a quote.

    Yep, that's me too. :)

    Also the drafts that are like "you know, I actually can't make this sound polite, so I'm just going to drop it like a hot potato."

    And the drafts that are like "Hey, I've got a funny joke! ... Wait, that's not as funny as I thought it was in my head."

    11,000 comments, 450 drafts. :lol:

    haha yeah...I once got caught in a 2 year old post. Someone mailed me about something and I hadn't realized I posted a response I wrote two years ago. I blame the necromancer on that one.

    This is one of several forum improvements I'd like to see. Other things that bug me are:

    - Inability to unsubscribe from a participated topic
    - No link to Dev Tracker from mobile site
    - Button to save/post reply is on the left for a new post, but on the right when editing

    People keep begging for Necromancer to be added as a class and I keep saying, "just come to the forums; you can play a necromancer here!" :p

    Also, related to that, there's no way to see the participated page from mobile. Or at least, I've never found it.

    A few of those but I'm mostly "eh, not worth it." I've taken to deleting my comment, replacing it with just a period and saving it.

    I wish there was a way to clear questions where you never picked an answer. I must have missed one back during the betas so every single time I'm on the forum I get promoted to accept answers but when I click the link there's nothing because the topics are long gone.

    On PC it's not too bad because it's a tiny note in the corner but on mobile it's huge and across the whole screen.

    The "draft saved" banner which appears across the middle (somehow always on top of the line I'm typing) is really annoying too.

    It makes me edit every post that isn't the first one im writing in the thread. I usually hit the quote button and immediatly start typing. On mobile, my keyboard fills 60% of the screen.

    Yes please!

    Side note: TIL there's a place you can find your drafts. I usually just pop into threads and find whatever old spew I decided not to finish days before and feel sad at my general lack of judgment/forethought in even trying to respond to most things.

    Ask a mod to help you. I had this same issue awhile back and gave up and asked for support. The mods do a really great job here on forums. Go to subthread for technical support.

    A lot which are actually inappropriate but actually would possibly risk my forum account so I leave them as drafts.

    You can sorta do that with notications settings.

    This is almost like that necromancer who was on the forums recently.

    Makes me think the option to hide posts from individual account like the ignore feature ingame would be amazing.

    But notification settings are all-or-nothing. Since there's no ability to selectively stop notifications for a topic you participated in, the only option. Is to shut off all notifications for thread updates. I'd like a less nuclear option

    You mean, this? https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/drafts

    Or you're asking if there's something that condenses that into specific data?

    Just gives the sum total of the drafts that I have. I'm not interested enough to count them, but if there is something that tells me, I would probably peek at that.
