Just lost an entire essay

  This site is honestly coded like crap. I spent two hours writing an entire essay response to another piece of discussion. I was literally on the last paragraph and moments away from posting it, when I pressed backspace when no text was selected, and without prompting me, it sent me back a page to my dashboard. I lost all of it. I have absolutely zero interest in continuing to use this site in the future if the damn blog editor is so fragile that looking at it sideways can delete literally everything I worked on for hours. What a joke.

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry to hear you have lost all your work, that is so frustrating!

  We have the Autosave in place to avoid things like that from happening. Have you had a look if your content was saved in the Revisions? Here’s more about that:
