I'd love a way to save a post as a draft, then revisit it later before posting it. I realize this might not be feasible due to the current forum infrastructure, but I hadn't seen it suggested before so I thought I would! (Though I could have missed it, certainly.) Since we're a RP site, I think the ability to save a draft of a post would be really valuable, especially for people on multiple devices!

OH OH OH!!! I SECOND THIS!!! This is such a great idea, I can't even begin to tell you how useful this would be!
For someone who is constantly getting interrupted and changing devices, losing a lot of post progress in the process, something like this would be a godsend.
Woot! 
I would also suggest an auto-save feature that would save your post every X seconds, since that would be amazing for people who, say, have a power outage or accidentally close their browser, but I fear that would be way too much of a strain on server resources!

I'd almost certainly do it with cookies or sessions, so the data would be stored on the user's own device.
Drafts you can deliberately save and come back to later from another device would require a major re-architecting. I can see the use of it. I'm not sure what priority to give such an idea at present!
I'm going to be funny here and say to give it the walrus priority.
