          Issue ID: 17855
           Summary: Forum draft, error accessing 5-month-old draft, can't
                    dismiss banner
           Product: D

          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1

My Dlang forum account is SimonN.

When I click "reply" on any post or click "create thread", I land on the page
with the normal text input boxes, and at the top a yellow banner: "You have an
unsent draft message from May 02."

The banner links to "http://forum.dlang.org/posting/xgwdtmcwvydwdwjefvze". I
click on that address, I get an error: "Expected n, got {".

This doesn't discard the draft.

Expected instead: No error. And some way to discard the draft, dismissing the
yellow banner for this particular draft.
