To EBR, Where's my Draft Review?

[Uuzd4S]

Hey EBR, I started a 10K mile review of the Juiced Bikes RipCurrent S about ten days ago. It was rather detailed and a bit lengthy, so I don't want to start over, just finish it. Where do I find Saved Drafts I've started. This one seems to have disappeared into the Either. It's also possible I didn't save it somehow, but I did what I thought I needed to save this review.
Looking for a reply from the EBR Member Help Team.
Thanks, BW

Did you click the Drafts Icon to the right of the page? And did you save the draft? If yes, go back to the Forum where you started the draft. At the top of the Forum, click into the Post A Thread box. Below the text entry box you should see a notification that "you have a saved draft" in that Forum. See pic

Thx for the Help on this Tom. I can answer YES to the first two questions. I didn't think it mattered which Forum page I'd started this Review on. I Did save it properly according to your qualifying questions, but I guess I thought I could locate a saved draft from my login page since it wasn't finished.
I don't have the Title of that Forum page written down which I guess is what I needed to do. Kind of diminishes the function of Saving a Draft of any kind if I can't find it anywhere else and have to write and save that info on paper. I guess if I'd have known that saving a draft wouldn't appear on my login page I Would have written that down. Remembering the Forum Names is like remembering an IP address since the search requires exact syntax. Maybe a History search exists so I can back track which Forum's I've visited?
I guess I'll just start poking around in hopes of finding it. I don't want to start over on this Review but I may have to.
Thx Again, I'll give notice if I find it and try to make paper recordings of Forum's I've been to in the future.

any long post I type it in something that does good spell checking then copy and paste it.

Hey @Uuzd4S I just saw your post... and I don't have tools to help you I think what @Tom@WashDC and @fooferdoggie said is right on. I've lost drafts myself, and I try to copy/paste to a text document if it's super long. I'm sorry that you might have lost your work and that I don't have a way to help out this time. Otherwise, I hope you have a good day and that you keep enjoying your RipCurrent S!

Thx Court, it's looking as if I may not have saved this Draft Review correctly or it may be tucked away within a Thread Reply (if that's possible). It turns out there aren't that many Forum's I'd have tried to save this Review, so finding it shouldn't be difficult. If I did save it correctly, I should be able to find it. . . . UNLESS, it's possible to save a Draft within a Thread. If that's the case I'm likely not going to find it.
I am however starting this Review again and doing a "practice" draft save before it gets too long. That should teach me what I need to know for future saves. I come from an aviation maintenance background and tend to give as much detail in as simple a form as I can . . which usually means "save and refine" a few times. Add the fact that I've got ADD and OCD . . . . means that everything's got to be in Just the right place . . . but Not for very long ; )
I'll get this, I need the practice, Thank You again for your response.

There are only 21 Forums. Just go to each Forum, click into the box that says 'Thread Title' as though you were going to create a new Thread. Once you are in the correct Forum (here you saved your draft) and repeat that procedure, the message will appear below that you have a saved draft. 21 Forums, should take max about 7 minutes to find.

On my MAC responses are still there when I come back to finish.

I typed the line above, shut down, came back and the unsent response was still here. A Windoze issue?

No... As it's saved on the website server, not your personal device.
