The forum generating 100s of drafts is annoying!

And also they are a pain in the ass to delete! I find that about every third time I click on the little delete cross it decides to send me to the thread in question! I can't just leave them all there as I have GENUINE drafts that I have left there for my own purposes. 

Yeah, I know .... first world problems ....

    Last time we did a head count I had the most drafts ( not much of a claim to fame I’ll grant you) so unless there is a bulk way to delete them they will just remain/grow as trying  to delete individual drafts is tricky/ frustrating as you describe. But unless there is a capacity benefit to the forum in all drafts being deleted it doesn’t seem much of a problem.
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    Well it's a problem for me as I have draft that I am keeping for now! Usually something that I'm going to post about but it's not ready yet for one reason or another

    I just treat it like an email inbox or nasal hair- regular, final maintenance keeps it under control.

    It's easy on a computer, but can be frustratingly difficult on a mobile device, or impossible if the thread title is long enough.

    If you really need to get rid of a lot, you'd be best to borrow a computer...

    @axisus  you have to make sure the X button changes from black to grey, otherwise you open them, even if the hand symbol shows. It's annoyingly pernickety.

    As I've moaned about before, the issue really is the small interval between the system saving automatic drafts.  @digitalscream - did you look into that last time mate ?

    On a phone it helps to zoom in to the naughty X. Makes it easier to click.
