Draft Didn't Auto Save and Couldn't Upload images
-
I was working on a post, and today I went to add images, but I kept receiving an error message, about not being able to post and to try again later. When I refreshed the page, everything was gone. I found no trace of the post in my drafts either.
Is there a bug or something? Is there a way to retrieve the lost post? Somewhere I may not have looked?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Provided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog I can help you with this.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

The same thing just happened to me. I think there is a glitch. I tried to upload a picture onto a page I was working on. I kept getting errors when I attempted to add the photo so I decided to update the page without the picture. When I pressed update, a page came up and asked me if I was sure I wanted to do this. I clicked yes and it brought me back to the page I was working on, only it was the sample content instead of what I had written. When I click Browse to go through revisions it doesn’t show what I was working on before I pressed update.
Super frustrating.
