Revisions and restoring an unfinished post.

    I was finishing writing a post but I accidentally deleted the entire thing. I am trying to revise it from where I left off but I have been unable too. Instead it gives off a revision from a week ago which I found strange because I just added new stuff to the post today and I didn’t see the hour or date from this very date, August 27th. This is very frustrating, I really don’t want to start all over again, it took a week to write this.

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

    Hi impunitycity,

    I’ll be happy to look into this for you — what is the name of the post you were working on? Were you editing the post in a browser or using our app?

    Just let me know and we can go from there.

    Hi gemma c evans
    ‘
    The post I was writing is called New Bad Days 55: and I mistakenly deleted it between 7:20 p.m. and 7:50 p.m.

    Thank you

    P.S. is there a way I can turn off the autosave?

    Oh, I forgot to mention, I was editing it on the firefox browser.

    Thanks again.

    Hi there,

    You have three posts named New Bad Days 55: and all of them are drafts. Have you looked at the revisions in all of them?

    All three of them don’t have what I just wrote on that day on 7/27. What happened is that I saved it when I went to work (at least I thought I did, it did say saved at the top left like it usually does) and then when I got home to finish it, suddenly the whole post was covered in blue and I deleted it, even though I pressed the left button to stop it. But when I first tried to revise it, instead of having drafts from seconds ago the last draft I could only revise was for last week on 7/20.

    Right now, I am writing it all over again, I am not at all computer literate that I can dip into a browser cache or look into my hard disk to find it the data of all the stuff I wrote.

    I hope what I described above helps somewhat.

    Thanks

    I’m sorry to say it appears that the blog post is gone :( We are tracking missing content so if you could provide as many details as possible we’ll look into it to try and prevent it from happening again.

    Sorry about this.
