Deleting draft posts

[Regardless]

Whenever I post, I type something in the box at the bottom of the screen and then I can choose either Post Reply or Preview.

If I realise that I've written a load of old crap, I sometimes want to abandon the post. What's the best way to do this?

Normally, I use Control A to "select all" and hit the delete button - but this is a bit clumsy and anyway, I often find that the autosave function means that next time I go to that thread, the redundant text is back - and I need to delete it again.

Should there be a 'Cancel' button, next to the Post Reply button, to delete a draft post? Or am I missing something obvious?

This irritates me also. It’s something I will look into.

Your box must be full then bud.

Is it possible to fix it so that on preach’s computer, “Post Reply” is replaced by a Cancel button?

Cheers ?

We need preach; he's an essential contributor to this beautiful melting pot of frustration
