Also note that the Save draft function seems to only work if you use Chrome. In fact everything on this site works better if you use Chrome.

admin: Its not a big deal, I found that copying and pasting from ms word works really well with chrome, not so much with ie - so I use chrome now.
I was going to nail down exactly what the deal was with the chrome vs ie save draft thing next time I had a chance. I think I saved it in one browser then thought I'd lost it all when I tried to open it up again later. Realised I was using a different browser, opened it up in the original one and it was back.

nzlockie: Sorry, to be clear, I had shut down the original browser after the save - its not like I had two browsers open or anything.

I wondered if it might a cookies thing?
I've noticed that some changes on the site take a refresh or two to come right, such as when you change your profile pic.
Today it took me several refreshes on different screens to get rid of that pony.

nzlockie: The profile pic thing is a side-effect of caching. The site is configured in such a way as to tell your browser not to refresh any images unless it absolutely has to, which dramatically reduces load speed. Holding down the shift key while you refresh will almost certainly get the images to refresh properly.

The save draft button only works on the same browser, that's right. It isn't actually stored on the server at all but in an html5 storage object, which is kinda like a cookie but more suited to that kind of data.
