We had another blogger with this problem, and it turned out to be something she’d installed on her computer that wiped out her posts.

In the meantime, go to Google or Yahoo search and see if they have cached versions of the posts. Yahoo tends to be slightly better for that.

We should have a sticky warning in Forum about such software. What was it? I’d like to know what to avoid…

No, it was some esoteric thing. Sondan was the person with the issue.

Esoteric? I have no idea what that is. Not software-wise that is…

I mean it was not common. It was very unusual, some code-cleaner or soemthing.

I believe it was a firefox extension called something like Download them all.

Yes, something like that. Because the Search is broken I cannot find it now.

It was some sort of link follower addon to firefox that is believed to have done it.

Surely FireFox will fix that?

I just found the thread and what DrMike said:

Addon: downthem all 1.0

This is probably the issue. A quick check shows that this is a preloader that scans the page you;re on and starts following links. If you’re looking at your blog while logged in, this addon is probably following the Edit links within each post, doing to the edit page, and finding the Delete button. Either that or following the Site Admin link on the blog, finding the Manage Posts page and find the delete links there.

No, it wasn’t firefox itself that built this patch or add-on. It was separate. I really wish I could find the thread; she lost something like 30 posts!

Here’s the thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=25112&replies=33 . That is where I got the drmike quote from (he’s inactive again by the way).

It was an addon to Firefox, not written by Firefox. It was written by someone else.

Yes, “Downthemall” is the prime candidate, though we haven’t proved it one way or another. Similar programs and browser accelerator add-ons such as Fasterfox should also be considered suspicious.
