  Major bugs in WordPress scheduling post, publishing, editing!!!
  I posted about this bug on the WordPress forum weeks ago and not one Happiness Engineer responded. Now it’s even worse. First, none of my saved edits were showing in preview, –after many tries– I scheduled the post, and INSTEAD OF SCHEDULING I received a notice that this was my 1,100th published post. I hadn’t published it. The post is sitting in DRAFT mode in the dashboard, so was not published even after I received the published notice.
  This is very frustrating and a huge waste of my time. Having to save the edits over and over and still they didn’t show in the Preview. Then trying to schedule the post and getting the *Congrats, Your Post is published!* and then finding it was not published but still draft mode and not scheduled. After all of that I did schedule it for publication tomorrow.

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

  Hi there,

  That sounds really frustrating. I’d be happy to help you out with these problems, but to help me know what to look at, I need a few more details.

  I have tried to reproduce the issues you describe on my end, but I can’t — I don’t get a ‘congratulations’ notice with a scheduled post, only with a posted one. For weird things that happen to you sometimes, but not every time, the best way for us to look into them is if you can link us to the particular post you’re having difficulty with while you’re still having the problem.

  Also, screenshots of what you’re seeing on your end are always a really big help, because they let us see exactly what you’re seeing on your end. Here are instructions for how to make a screenshot: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/

  You can upload screenshots to your blog’s Media Library and we can look at them there.

  Once the problem has passed, though, it’d kind of hard to troubleshoot it. Have you now been able to update and schedule this post? If not, can you link me to the draft and provide a bit more detail about the changes you’ve made that aren’t showing up in preview?
