Several minutes ago, I posted a forum topic reply and it didn't appear correctly. I had never saved it as a draft, but what got posted was an earlier and incomplete version of what I had written.
After editing that post to restore what was missing, I tried to save a draft of another post (for a topic for which I had had comments migrated to the Fan Fiction section while the draft was open), and I got a "Session Timeout!" error message. Fortunately, the link to that draft was still in My Drafts, and I could copy-and-paste in the latest unsaved version and save it.
Then I tried to save another draft (different topic, in a Private Forum) that was open since many hours, and it worked with no error message.
I am reporting this in case the post-without-finalized-text glitch or the Session Timeout is going to be a recurring issue.
In the past, I have noticed that PMs sent by me are not what I had finally written, but an earlier version - auto-saved by the system, not draft-saved by me. However, this is the first time I've lost edits with a topic post.
