My Save Drafts Version 1
Supports: vB 3.0./1/2/3/4/5/6/7TESTED
MySQL support for Version 4 or higher and now full support for MySQL version 3* to!!!
Overview...
The *Save Draft Sub System* is designed to allow members to save (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) as a draft! This allows for saving a message that you might not be able to finish at the present time, but want to not lose that message!
The *Save Draft System* does more than just *save the message*...
1. Save Message
2. Remembers all form options (icons, subscriptions, disabled this or enabled that)
3. Allows for saving Attachments
4. Allows for unlimited (edits) before posting or sending message
5. Remembers (topic, post, forum you are replying to)
6. UserCP, folder views (lists messages with easy controls to manage all drafts)
Save Drafts Controls (Forum Display)
Save draft controls "Save Draft" and "Folder Views" are only visible to members that have permission to use that control! If a member has saved his/her maximum allowed drafts for a certain folder, then that control is closed. They will not be able access it.
Save Drafts Controls (Admin Display)
Because the Save Draft System, is based not only group permissions, you can limit what groups can do! One group can save all types of messages (new Post, New Replies and New PMs) while the other can only save maybe (New PMs). The control extends it's self the same way for saving (Attachments).
Instead of making a Admin Panel that would very complicated due the nature of multi permissions, I have made the admin panel simple to use, but even with the simplity of the control, the combinations that the control gives you, offers you many options with simple ease of use as it's design logic was intended!
Controls...
Turn the draft system on per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
Turn the draft system off per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
On shut down per folder, do what? ( soft shut down [no delete], hard shut down [full delete]) per group
Allow for saving attachment per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group
Allow for setting a message storage limit per folder (New Posts, New Replies, New PMs) per group [unlimited = 0, ### = maximum message saves allowed]
Allow for original draft date for posting the message! (this is for mods, admins only, should always be set to (no)) (part of the extended panel V2)
This is a difficult mod to install, if you don't feel comfible editing scripts. I will install it for anyone that asks me to! Have any questions just ask!
See attachments for different views, also demo is here!

FYI at vB.com ... Save as draft suggestion

Well ...I found the way User can use User Note as a draft .
Go to ===> Quick Link ===> My Profile ===> and look at the left screen ===> user note ===> select User note ...and then post what ever you like ...It's will save in you profile as a draft .
To delete ...just click edit ...and then click at the box Delete ....that's it .
