Autoload the latest draft
Let's say I start writing a new topic in Feature Discussion board and the draft is saved.
I do not post the topic, but the draft is still there.
Later, I start a topic in the same board, instead of presenting an empty textarea, it would be nice to have the text of the previous draft pre-loaded.
The same apply to topic replies: start a reply, go away, start again a reply to the same topic, load the draft.
Don't shoot at me, I know it cannot load the latest draft forever, and not even twice in a row, there should be mechanisms to avoid that (e.g. check if after the latest draft has been saved you have already answered to the same topic or created another topic in the same board, or maybe something more sophisticated based on drafts IDs, etc.).
An idea.

I like this idea. Or, a less intrusive way could just be to give the reply a "warning" bar (QR too, is there even a warning bar setup for QR?) with a message indicating that there are saved drafts from the thread in question.
Hell, if Elk could always tell me when I have a saved draft for some thread, without having to load the full reply window , that'd be really cool.

Quick reply may be ajax-magic "on (first) focus"?
