When a brand new user who has never posted a thread before drafts a thread and saves it as a draft, the user cannot go back to edit the draft because it gives the error that the user has already hit the 1 thread per day limit when the thread hasnt really been posted.  The "Drafts" Thread is being included in thread count for some reason and causing new users not to be able to post a thread in their first 24 hours if they start by saving a draft.   This is quite frustrating when you have a good thread put together with a juicy leak for your first thread and spend the time formatting it correctly etc then cannot post it and have to sit there and wait 24 hours to reset the count.  

Im guessing most users just post an introductory thread as their first one and dont usually save a draft of it because it doesnt have any links or download links or sample images etc.  However if the new user isnt a leech and wants to show some initiative right out the gate, the get smite'd with a thread limit for it. This isnt the impression we want new users to have right? 

Thank you for checking it out as it will save someone some frustration in the future.

I don't know if this would work in MyBB. When you make a draft it is actually creating the thread, there is probably just a single field that makes it visible or not on the forum. Admins can probably write a simple plugin or modify MyBB itself to check the number of visible threads instead of the total number of threads. This is so specific I don't think they will develop for this issue.

Very true, but it isnt a huge change and only a couple lines if that of code to fix it.......
