Well drafts of things you decide not to post and didn't hit save draft on being stuck in a thread indefinitely, are kinda dumb.4 -

They aren't. You can just delete them. It's really easy. The feature is meant to saves accidentally misclicking away1 -

✭✭✭✭✭It only bothers me when I'm using the mobile version of the forum, and then only because it always seems to put the 'draft saved' notification right on top of whatever I was typing, so I have to wait for it to go away before I can carry on. If it put the message in a corner like it does on PC, or just saved drafts without constantly telling me about it then I'd be fine with it.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

How do you delete them? On my browser the text I wrote is sitting in the text box indefinitely, unless I replace it and hit Post. I even delete it out of the box, only to have it return the next time I go back to that thread, and 99.99% sure it isn't my browser caching it.4 -

I am on mobile so not sure of the process on PC but....
First you bring up this menu, by pressing the little lines on the side. Then you click drafts.
This brings up all your drafts. Then just click the little x to delete it. Or click the text to go to the thread and continue working on your post.

Thormar✭✭✭✭Maybe am alone in this, there're some threads that have been around for like forever.
I read them and no longer care about them.
These threads often resurface on General Discussion's frontpage, taking up precious space from other
threads.
I really wish there was a "Mark thread as Read" option.
On drafts: these wouldn't have been a problem if BULK select and delete was available.
It' isn't on both mobile and PC.What if I go north? Disappear.
Would you come after me?1 -

✭✭✭✭✭On PC you click the little cog icon next to your name and avatar at the top of the screen, select 'my drafts' from the drop-down and then you can delete them using the X in the corner of each one.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

You can bring up the drafts view, where you will find every half written comment that you never posted, and delete them from there. Getting to that view easy for browsers by clicking on the gear icon up at the top of the page by your name.
It is a pain to delete them from the drafts view. It is better to just ignore that view.
If you just want to clear the text, you can just clear it, press any key, then save that as a draft. I use a period, which is why sometimes you see comments from me that start with a period. It means I was going to reply to something else, but decided not to. After that, just ignore the draft that it creates.

Simplest solution would be an remove draft / clear on the reply bar. More useful than making textHow do you delete them?

Also if you have an draft and reply to an post remove the draft. Perhaps keep it in the draft list but clear then you press reply.
So many times I reply while having an unused draft and has to go in and edit the post afterward.

✭✭✭✭✭Yep. All of the above. I really hate "leftovers" so I have to mutz around in my profile to get rid of them. And yes, the ones you don't post stick around until I go delete them in the Drafts view.
When the software saves a draft, but you do post what it saved, it seems at that point to delete it from Drafts view.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I like drafts, but I'm probably an oddity in how I use them.
Beyond the usual "I started typing, then thought better of hitting [Post Reply]", since the Drafts are saved without posting, in one of my bookmarked posts, I use the Draft to save the links to various pictures and offsite reference links for easy copy/paste. Drafts are also really useful when I have to swap to a previous page to reread the conversation to make sure I remember something correctly.
That being said, I've got 830 drafts, most of which are deletable but it's never going to happen if I have to delete them one at a time.1 -

At one time, I used to use the drafts as a warning to a future self to not post a comment in a thread.

Huh, learn something new every day. Thanks!
...wow, I've got a lot of old drafts.
And you have to X them out individually?
(oldest one is April 2017. Why doesn't the forum software clear out things, say, 6-12 months or older?)0 -

I'm on mobile, so if I go to the "favorites" bar at the top left where I can navigate through the forum, I see My Drafts as an option. Sometimes it shows up but other times it doesn't. Sorry, I don't remember how to see it on computer.0
