I'm curious as to the difference between "Load Draft" and "View Edit".
This morning I saved a draft, cleared my cache, reloaded the Firefox 3.6.13 browser and decided to continue editing my post.
The View/Edit option says I can edit or Submit the post, but provides no preview button, whereas the Load Draft returns me to my customary state.
I used the Load Draft and am happy, but for the life of me can't see the purpose of the View/Edit option.
Is anyone out there using View/Edit? And if so, Why?
Thanks.

At a guess, it allows you to view, edit and save the draft, keeping the post in your drafts folder.ChrisGreaves wrote:...can't see the purpose of the View/Edit option.
Load Draft puts you back in the position you were in prior to saving it in Drafts, so that you can carry on as if nothing had happened.
Or something.

I just rechecked it in Test Area.Leif wrote:At a guess, it allows you to view, edit and save the draft, keeping the post in your drafts folder.ChrisGreaves wrote:...can't see the purpose of the View/Edit option.
View/Edit allows only Submit or Reset, whatever that is.
If I choose View/Edit I can change the text, but I can't then save the draft for yet-another-session.
IMHO View/Edit is useless.
No, let me rephrase that. Load Draft let's me do what View Edit does, and much more.
