Mini Forum update: Draft comments, and polls in comments
Draft comments
You can now save comments as permanent drafts:
After saving, the draft will appear for you to edit:
1. In-place if it’s a reply to another comment (as above)
2. In a “Draft comments” section under the comment box on the post
3. In the drafts section of your profile
The reasons we think this will be useful:
For writing long, substantive comments (and quick takes!). We think these are the some of the most valuable comments on the forum, and want to encourage more of them
For starting a comment on mobile and then later continuing on desktop
To lower the barrier to starting writing a comment, since you know you can always throw it in drafts and then never look at it again
Polls in comments
We recently added the ability to put polls in posts, and this was fairly well received, so we’re adding it to comments (… and quick takes!) as well.
You can add a poll from the toolbar, you just need to highlight a bit of text to make the toolbar appear:
