Is the "Drafts" feature the most annoying thing about LET ever in the history of the universe?

zed

If you disagree you're wrong. Somebody help me disable this shit.

Nonono. You have permissions to only see 4 :-D

unfortunately

And the quote too every time I highlight a post.

Yep, totally. I gave up long ago.

Exactly. Stupid vanilla.

Amateurs.

COLBYLICIOUS

YES

emgh

Issue is it doesn’t save often enough and removing the text never removes the draft. Much like other things in Vanilla it’s not really thought out.

Hah, I have been here for a few years, but I never paid attention to that section. I have no idea what it might be used for yet.

wadhah

I just completly blocked it with ublock

Enjoy!

Was annoyed until I found out you that you can click x to delete the drafts. The funny thing is that the x only shows up, when you hoover on the draft item

I see drafts only in desktop mode.
The most issue is, if you close a site, the draft comes back every time you open the specific thread again, also if you wont write anything to it.

Who is willing to take the blue pill press the blue button?

Disable auto save

If you don't want your Vanilla community to automatically save drafts while users are creating content, you can turn this feature off.

Access the Dashboard.
Navigate to the Settings > Forum > Posting page.
In the Rules section, toggle OFF the Automatically Save Drafts option.
Click Save at the bottom of the page to apply your change.
When posting, users can now only manually save drafts via the editor's Save Draft button.

It doesn't really bother me.

If I see I have any drafts, I just go to https://lowendtalk.com/drafts and delete them.

Yeah this part is extremely annoying, I don't know why it's a feature. There's already a quote link at the bottom of every post, we don't need the hovered quote option. People can tailor the full featured quote for what they want to reply to if necessary.

I asked ChatGPT for help with getting rid of my drafts.

When I told it I am an admin, its advice:

Yes. Drafts are annoying. I lose hope of it and just pretend the feature doesn’t exist.

The discussions count in vanilla includes the flags you've created on posts. As well as discussions that later became private.

I asked about nested spoilers, some people like to abuse it

Since LowEndTalk uses Vanilla Forums, the admins should be able to limit or disable nested spoilers using one of these methods:
    1.  Modify the theme’s CSS – They can hide deeply nested spoilers using CSS like:

.Spoiler > .Spoiler > .Spoiler > .Spoiler { display: none; }

This would prevent excessive nesting from being displayed.

2.  Edit the Spoiler plugin (if used) – If the spoiler function is part of a Vanilla plugin, they can modify it to limit nesting depth.

Now I feel stupid, but can someone explain the problem?
I've been a member for 5 years and I have no drafts, am I doing something wrong?
