In summary, the "CANCEL" button is missing in Edit - More Options, but there are other ways to abort such as deleting a post within a certain time frame or not clicking "post reply". The available buttons are "SAVE CHANGES", "UPLOAD", and "PREVIEW". To exit the page, one can click on the "back" button on the browser or the PF logo on the top left. Until "Save changes" is clicked, the post will not be saved. If using the full editor while editing a post, one can simply go back in the browser.

In Edit - More Options, the "CANCEL" button is absent. Is closing the tab/window the only way to abort?

yes but you can also delete a post (for some small amount of time after posting it --- you can't come back the next day, for example, and delete it)

Just don't hit "post reply" and nothing happens.

There is no "post reply." The available buttons are "SAVE CHANGES", "UPLOAD", "PREVIEW."

Simply click on the "back" button your browser, or click on the PF logo on the top left to leave the page. Until and unless you hit "Save changes", nothing will be saved in your post.

Ah, you mean when editing a post and going to the full editor instead of the direct editing. I rarely use that. In that case: Go back in the browser.
