My Drafts - who's got the most?

MagicPigDetective · March 2020

Just noticed I've got 300 of them! Should I be deleting them? How?

digitalscream · March 2020

I had a few thousand last time I cleared them out. Only got 28 at the moment...

octatonic · March 2020

That would make me very anxious.
I have zero.

You'd hate my life on here, then...I can't even see the inbox icon any more...

not_the_dj · March 2020

245. can you mass delete them?

stickyfiddle · March 2020

I have 155 at time of writing. It makes me itch, just slightly, but there's no bulk-delete option, so they'll stay.

I honestly don't understand how people can have, like, 12,447 unread emails with that red icon on their phone just sitting there.

In so many ways.

I have 13,184 of those!

Most I've previewed, or mailing list stuff that I've ignored and haven't got around to unsubscribing.

I don't think it's possible to mass delete your own but I'd be happy to have mine mass deleted as I appear to have over 1,300. I just haven't ever spent the time to click X on each individually.

octatonic · March 2020

I also have zero unread emails.
I couldn't possibly live otherwise.

Yes, I have OCD in case you were wondering.

click on drafts. move cursor to the right and a x will appear. Hover over the x till it fades and delete. ie click.

How do you sleep at night?

I currently have 8 which is all stuff I have to attend to and I still hate it.

Ta. I'll have plenty of time on my hands now to delete them all.

fields5069 · March 2020

Only 23 for me. I hardly ever get sidetracked, so they mostly all get sent.

MagicPigDetective · March 2020

I struggle to express myself...…...hence the many aborted posts.

TheBigDipper · March 2020

I type long replies on topics I care about, and then decide not to post what I've written because it won't change anything and is often just throwing petrol onto a fire that deserves to die. And by the time I've finished typing, I feel better, anyway.

Yeah, that too

I do this too- I just delete it after deciding not to post.

dangriffiths · March 2020

I have 1 item in My Bookmarks but it is empty when you open it....driving me crazy slowly over the last year....feels good to tell people

MikeS · March 2020

Never mind drafts.

I'm pretty sure I'm being encouraged to keep spending money. My GAS is through the roof.

ICBM · March 2020

I always delete mine, but it can be a real pain in iOS, even in the 'Full Site' mode - the x is invisible at first and shows up when you touch anywhere on the title, but then trying to click on the x just takes you back to the thread every time. Sometimes there's just no other way than to wait until I'm on the computer.

Philly_Q · March 2020

I usually go back to drafts after an hour or two and think no, fuck it, I'm not posting that, then delete them. There's just one I leave because it's been there for about 18 months and I've got attached to it.

tone1 · March 2020

19....nnnnnnnnnn19

Funkfingers · March 2020

I clear mine out regularly. (Ooh, er, missus.)

When the motivation to comment strikes, I begin typing. If what I wanted to post still seems relevant and/or humorous, I post it. If the moment appears to have passed, I do not post.

Occasionally, I elect to post comments that, with the benefit of hindsight, probably could have been expressed less bluntly. Publish and be damned, I say.

axisus · March 2020

I used to have a clearout when I got to 80 or so. I do it a bit more often these days.

EricTheWeary · March 2020

867 drafts! I think I did clear them all out at some point as well. I think they are mostly empty boxes or half a sentence. I can't cope with seeing Notifications so I'm always straight in them, usually followed by a sigh of relief that it's nothing hateful.
Prevarication and paranoia central here.

I was the same. Wait till the x slightly fades then click on it. I think that will clear it every time.

LuttiS · March 2020

Everyone should post all of their draft replies.. NOW! can you imagine the number of out of context necrobumps of half finished out dated replies?

(56 and counting)

Same issue here on iPhone, even in the full site. The x doesn’t fade, it just stays there solid as a solid thing. If I click on the x, it just opens the thread in a new window. I can only delete drafts via a laptop.

I have a second 'dirty' email account for stuff I don't want clogging up my main emails - plus its linked to my youtube account where my autistic son has subscribed to 50 billion crazy kids youtube accounts.

@digitalscream - Were'nt you going to increase the time between auto-saves to help with this ?

Howdy, Stranger!
