Admins: Draft posts are superficially identical actually-posted ones (while logged in). This is confusing, and alarming to new users (at least, it was to me) since it looks like something you meant to save as a draft has been published to the world by mistake. Can they be made to look clearly different—e.g., lighter colour or “[DRAFT]” next to them or something? This applies both on the front page (and /new etc.) and in the recent posts list in the sidebar.
Happened to me too! I panicked, deleted all of my developing posts, and wrote a note of apology to the forum for all the nonsense I accidentally posted. (Fortunately, I figured it out—everything was still a draft, including my apology.)
