To post a discussion item (e.g., topic or reply) that you previously saved as a draft, follow these steps:

1. In your site's menubar, click `Discussion`.
2. In the list of discussion items, click the black triangles to expand the categories and topics as needed. Find your draft posting, which will have "Draft -" in front of the title and will occupy the same place in the discussion hierarchy as the eventual posting.
3. Click the draft title to open the message.
4. Make any necessary edits and then click `Add Reply`. You will be able to tell it was posted because the title will no longer have "Draft-" in front of it.
