Can the draft functionality be turned off?

Is there somewhere I can switch it off for my profile? Sometimes I click post and instead a draft is saved. Sometimes I click post, there's a delay (so I assume I just saved a draft ) and I click post again, ending up with a double post.

It just seems to cause more issues than the functionality is worth (for me, personally).

    Yeah, that was my guess.

    Always one step ahead of me, that draft button.

    If you AdBlock http://forums.penny-arcade.com/applications/vanilla/js/autosave.js?v=* that should turn it off. I haven't noticed much in the way of other problems from doing this.

    Would be nice, but I can understand why it can't be. I can't tell you how many drafts have been saved for some reason after I posted.

    I can turn autosave draft off for everyone, but not for individuals.

    Where are the drafts actually located? I created an OP for the new game development thread, but I can't find it in my profile. I know in the past I've been able to get to a page with all my drafts because I remember deleting a bunch of them.

    Edit: Disregard, I found it - it's in the gear icon

    Possible alternative to turning off the draft functionality?
    Adding the ability to "select all" and "delete selected," like a shopping cart feature, on the drafts page. I just went through and deleted all my old drafts, having the page refresh each time. Other suggestion, might not be a good one (might increase the server load?) would be automatically deleting drafts after a certain length of time.
