XF 2.2 Are Saved Drafts stored in the db or browser cache?

[Ludachris]

I have a member who can't find a saved draft in the forum where he saved it. I told him it might be in a different forum than he remembers. He keeps thinking it's because he shut down his browser and lost it, even though I explain that isn't how it works.

In what scenarios can drafts be lost?

Drafts are saved in the database.

They are only saved for 24 hours since last saved, unless you have changed the default setting.

That explains it. I changed the setting. Maybe it would be worth mentioning how long the draft will be saved next to the button in the WYSIWYG editor. The text link could read "Save Draft for X Hours".
