I Just Spent An Hour Working On a Post and Now It’s Lost Forever
-
I finished typing up my post and hit publish and it brings me up to a login screen. I had already logined before and I don’t know why it asked me again. I don’t really care why it asked me, but I am extremely upset it didn’t save and I looked in the drafts which of course didn’t save it. What do I do?

I’ve been a BlogDesk user and now I’m a WindowsLiveWriter user. At the very least, if we use the raincoaster work around and copy all the text to our clipboard before we click publish we can avoid these losses.
