    Hi there,

    Can you please let us know the title of that post? Also, have you checked the drafts and their history?

    the draft was under a working title called “baggage”.
    It disappeared at 7:35am yesterday morning. It was doing the automatic saving feature until I hit to back button instead of the undo button which automatically took me to another draft, and when I returned immediately to “baggage” the whole thing was gone. The history had also disappeared. Anything after that, history included was edited by me in an attempt to rewrite it.

    Hi there,

    It does appear that the original version of your post was never saved to our servers, i.e. it looked like it was auto-saving, but in reality it didn’t. So I’m afraid there’s no way to recover your lost content.

    In order to prevent this from happening again it would help us a lot to know exactly what caused it.

    Can you please confirm which editor you were using? The one at My Site ->Blog Posts or the one in WP-Admin? If the My Site editor, did you explicitly click the “Save” link so it turned to “Saving…Saved”, or did you just let the editor save automatically?

    And can you please provide details on your browser? Go to http://supportdetails.com/ and take a screen shot of that page. The upload it to My Site ->Media ->Add and let me know once you’ve done that. I’ll be able to see the screen shot there.
