Post as WIP

Mr E

When I'm writing a long piece on the TV forum (like my TV Show of the Week threads), it can take an hour or more to write and fine tune.

I'd love an option on the Thread Management panel of newthread.php to "Post as WIP", which would hide it from the general populace until its finished (essentially posting it as "Unapproved"). The option should only be available to moderators on forums that they moderate, for obvious reasons. It means I could leave something as Work in Progress and come back to it later to review before posting it for real.

Its a "nice to have" rather than a "must have" (there's always notepad!)

Can't you just create the thread, soft delete it and then edit away to your heart's content before restoring it.

Mr E

Yep, but it'll pop up on the front page.

Ah OK, I'll shut up now.

Great it as a PM and then just copy / paste to the thread when finished?
