Never lose track of an unfinished post again!

My Drafts is a completely free XenForo 2.3 add-on that brings your unfinished threads and replies together in one convenient place.

Ever started writing a post, got distracted and forgotten where you left it? My Drafts makes it easy to find your saved content, continue writing or remove drafts you no longer need.

It also introduces optional reminders through XenForo's native notification system, helping members return to unfinished conversations.

Your Drafts, All in One Place

No more searching through forums trying to remember where you started writing!

My Drafts provides a dedicated page displaying your unfinished threads and replies, complete with useful information about each saved draft.
  • Clearly identifies THREAD and REPLY drafts.
  • Displays the original thread or forum location.
  • Shows a preview of your saved content.
  • Displays when each draft was last saved.
  • Resume writing directly from the draft list.
  • Select and manage multiple drafts.

Convenient Account Menu Integration

Access My Drafts directly from XenForo's native account dropdown without having to navigate through multiple forum pages.

An optional draft counter also displays how many unfinished threads and replies you currently have waiting.

Both the account menu shortcut and draft count can be controlled through the ACP.

Personalised Draft Reminders

Sometimes a saved draft gets forgotten entirely. My Drafts includes optional reminder preferences to help members return to unfinished posts.
  • Enable or disable reminders whenever you like.
  • Choose how frequently you want to be reminded.
  • Save your preferences directly from My Drafts.
  • Reminder intervals help prevent excessive notifications.

Native XenForo Bell Notifications

Rather than introducing a separate notification system, My Drafts integrates directly with XenForo's existing alert bell.

When an eligible unfinished draft is detected, members with reminders enabled can receive an alert encouraging them to continue writing.

Clicking the notification takes them directly to My Drafts.
  • Native XenForo bell notifications.
  • Automatic scheduled checks using XenForo's cron system.
  • Member-controlled reminder frequency.
  • Reminders for eligible unpublished drafts.
  • No Node.js, external APIs or background AJAX polling.

Simple and Safe Draft Deletion

Got drafts you no longer need? My Drafts lets you remove them individually or in bulk.

Deleting a Single Draft

Deleting Multiple Drafts

  • Individual and bulk draft selection.
  • Confirmation before permanent deletion.
  • Accurate singular and plural deletion messages.
  • Removes the actual saved draft records from XenForo.
  • Does not affect published threads or replies.

Administrator Configuration

My Drafts includes a dedicated options group under XenForo's Admin Control Panel, allowing site owners to configure the add-on without editing files.

Available settings include:
  • Enable or disable My Drafts.
  • Configure the number of drafts displayed per page.
  • Show or hide the account menu shortcut.
  • Show or hide the outstanding draft count.
  • Enable or disable native reminder alerts.
  • Allow members to configure their own reminders.
  • Enable or disable reminders by default.
  • Configure the default reminder interval.

Built Around XenForo

My Drafts doesn't replace XenForo's editor or introduce an entirely separate draft-saving system.

Instead, it works with XenForo's existing saved drafts, making them easier to find, resume and manage.

The interface also inherits XenForo's active style, including buttons, colours, borders and typography, making it suitable for light and dark themes.
