I had that happen too, but was able to use the “back” function on my browser to get to a page where I could copy my draft, then paste it into a new WordPress post.

Well, Mark! For goodness sakes, if you go to the “post revisions” at the bottom of the page you get these to dots to click on. Neither is marked! (they are two click buttons, side by side) But, apparently, after a couple of revisions down the “revisions” list my post came back up!

You are an angel!, by the way. This was a very important post going to Boingboing about Warner Bros abuse of content users.

I don’t know why your helping me, but you saved me from near suicide! LOL

P.S. I don’t know why the content disappeared in the first place, but you’ve given me a good lesson. CHEERS!

“Well, Mark! For goodness sakes, if you go to the “post revisions” at the bottom of the page you get these to dots to click on.”:

If in doubt, I ask for clarification. Rather that than reply and get a “Not those dots”.

One more note:

I have a blog on blogspot.com and I can’t imagine them giving me the immediate help you’ve given me right now. ON A SUNDAY!

Thanks so much, and keep up the good work!
