I have had a few occasions when, during writing or replying, I needed to visit the gallery or home page to check an EXIF, and when I get back to where I thought my post was------ it's goneo.O How do I save a draft copy? I am obviously missing a trick here.

Yes it is possible - I built a routine to solve that on one of the other fora - some time ago now, I'll have to rake back and find it.

I just checked  - the editor autosave function is working here so you should be able to just go back to the post you were writing and find it intact - as you write in the editor it saves the post to your local storage 
- write something in the editor and then right click and select Inspect (Q) 
- select Storage on the top menubar of the new window that opened at the bottom of the screen 
- then select Local Storage on the left menu 
- then the line for nikondslr.uk and you should see two or three lines which show the current contents of the local store 
- any text you have typed in an editor box should be here in a condensed form.
The software uses this to populate the editor box IN THE SAME THREAD ONLY when you return later
