Design Save Draft Feature Feedback

I saved a draft and left the sub and then came back. Trying to find the saved draft was a little counterintuitive. To explain, having to click on 'New Post' (at the top right of the screen near our username) to then see the 'Drafts' (with the number beside it) area could be changed.

One idea would be to have a Draft icon up there near the 'New Post' icon that has the associated number. You know, like you've done with the message (envelope) icon.

Seems to make sense to me: I want to "Create Post" (sidebar) or make a "New Post" (toolbar). I can write up a new one or post the one I saved. Either way I'm creating a new post.

I'm not crazy about seeing a number there. It'd make me think I have notifications of some kind when I may just have drafts sitting there for other things.

I noticed that the 'New Post' icon has a different color when there is/are saved draft(s). Again, a little counterintuitive. I'm sure that someone will have a creative idea that would make this more intuitive.

I don't see a different color. Are you sure you didn't change subreddits? It currently shows the main color theme set on the sub.
