All my post to other members pictures are now drafts or somthing.

Hey I have stupidly done something wrong. I looked to see if this has been discussed before and no I am the only one doing stupid stuff. No surprise there. Sorry. Anyway I was trying to post my opinion about another members pictures, because they were awesome. So, not really sure what I was doing I clicked on the guys number at the top of his post, thinking that it would link my post to his. I see this done all the time. You know the way it creates the cute little box above your post. But it looked totally wrong, so I canceled it,
I was asked a question about something which I can't remember. I responded with a no or a cancel. Now ALL my responses look like I need to edit them or that they are drafts and the like box is gone. And whatever page I am on there is a number 2486 on the tab . Does anyone know what I did to cause this? I have been on this site for years, I should know better. Sorry about this.

These are the parts I may be able to help with: I checked your four most recent posts before the one above (went to your home page to get links to them) and they all look all right to me. They're regular posts, not drafts.

You don't see a Like box for your own posts. I don't see a Like box for my posts. This is normal because people can't give themselves Likes.

To reply to someone's post, click REPLY or QUOTE at the bottom of his or her post. Don't use the "guy's number at the top." I don't even know what part of his post you mean.

I don't see the number 2486 in connection with anything.

This might not have anything to do with it, but just in case

Click on FYEO at the top of the page.
Click on Drafts on the left side of the page.
If you have any Unfinished Posts or Unfinished Replies that you don't want to save, delete them. Do this by clicking the link embedded in each item so that it takes you to the original post. Select reply in the post, and it will bring up your unfinished reply and you can Cancel. Unfinished post should work the same way, just click Cancel at the bottom, and answer Yes.

The forum may have asked if you wanted to save the reply as a draft, and now it's recalling it when you try to post again. I just tested it myself. I started a new post called "Test", selected Preview & save draft, then just closed the tab without submitting. I opened the forum again in a new tab in my browser, selected Start a New Thread, and it pre-filled in the text box with that post "Test".

Thank you so much! I did have unfinished drafts. That is what kept repeating. I closed them out and everything looks normal now. I think I was overreacting when
it came to the like boxes. I thought it looked different and I just knew I had done something to it to mess it up. Thank you both for taking the time
to respond and help me out.

You get the count of unread notified posts on the browser tab, like
"(2344) page title here...."

Your notification count changes when you read those posts/pages:

The purple box on top/bottom of each page is clickable, too. You'll get to the notification list that way, too.

Thank you. I panicked and thought for sure I had ruined the whole web site.
