Auto save has screwed me a couple of times and I have learned not to rely on it. I fell to it using the program openoffice and accidentaly altered a very important spreadsheet. I erased some formulas and couldn't get them back cause of the auto save. I had to an old version of the spreadsheet and then update it. It was a pain. Great advice thanks!

Very good advice, sadly, I too have made similar “brushes” on my keyboard, and lost material written while I was inspired, and lost EVERYTHING I wanted to say

Guys at Wordpress should take care about this side. A few weeks ago it happened to me too and the autosave didnt save anything! they should focalise about improving the features wordpress has got already instead of creating new ones (which means…more issues)

Sorry to hear about that. I remember in the past, WP2.6 used to save your post frequently as different revisions but looks like they’ve scrapped the feature. Now Wordpress only creates a revision when you explicity ask it to save your post.

I’ve experienced a few hiccups like that before… that was when I started to type proper (in my aim to achieve perfect touch typing in a week) so I kept hitting the control key instead of his less harmful counterpart, shift. Since then I’ve learned to save frequently or at least, copy the entire HTML code into an open notepad document. The latter isn’t exactly reliable when my computer decided to throw me that BSOD right in my face. I ended up having to retype everything… angrily.

Take care! I guess that deletion isn’t a bad thing afterall – you have in mind what to write about your new update now and have lots of time to refine on it. Good luck!

With the talk of people deleting posts accidentally, maybe WordPress could benefit from a “Recycle Bin” of sorts??

Bummer. I don’t trust web apps that much and the Wordpress editor tool is not exactly a good word processor. I always write and edit posts in MS Word, copy and paste to notepad when I’m ready to format the post in WP and then copy and paste clean text into WP before using FCK editor to format and publish the post.

Call me old fashioned but writing a post in WP just sucks all the way around. Also, I have a backup copy of every post in case something really goes wrong

Reminds me of ‘fun’ I’ve had because of a small child sitting on the chair next to me pressing the power button on my laptop.
