  I and my college students are using the WordPress 3.6 UI testing version and posts are receiving notification of an autosave older than the version in the post editor when visiting a post that has not been edited in hours, days, weeks, or months. All are experiencing this over the past two weeks on Firefox and Chrome browsers.

  We edit the post and the warning appears immediately, even before we make any changes on the post.

  Is there a WordPress 3.6 tester area in the forum for such reports? Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  I don’t have an answer so I tagged this thread for a Staff response.

  By “WordPress 3.6 UI testing version” do you mean MP6?
