OP
To PM myself the draft, you mean copy the body into a text and paste it into a message to PM

Right, but the problem is a draft poll can't be copied this way. Unless it's copied line by line.

or leave the posting window open, depending on how long you want to save it.

Or is there a more direct way to do it? Reason I ask is that the draft I wanted to save was a poll question with a number of choices.

(60,011 posts)3. yeah, cut and paste into DU PM to yourself.
or, cut and paste into your own personal email, mine has draft option.
Only way I can think of unless you want to leave a posting window open for awhile.
You do run risk of it being closed tho.....

If you just want to save it, you could hit f-11 to make a big screen pic an then hit the print key, that would make a copy you could save offline
but not a copy you could add anything to.
If that is not what you need, then I am out of ideas.

(29,517 posts)6. Ha! Thank you, dixiegrrl. It'd be great if we could save it as-is within DU's architecture somehow
I just thought maybe there was a way to do that.
