☆📚~A Magickal Book-Blog Featuring A Free-Spirited & Custom Made Bibliophile ~🔮
I just wanted to vent for a moment. I just took 40 minutes of my time to write an awesome review of a book I just finished! I had the great GIFs and tags everything was done and fantabulous. Then mysteriously The Wicked WordPress app of the West goes on a psychotic tantrum and deletes my whole post!!!😨😨😤😤 I mean WTF! I just spent all that time for it to be deleted and nowhere to be found. I put all that time and effort into a long perfected review and then BAM all gone! Fuckin’ A!
So just a heads up I will be posting my reviews later on when I can calm my tits. I hope everyone has a great day. Rant over…😒
Over and out…
Not even sure whether or not to like this post.. I can definitely get your frustration!
I once had the same thing with a whole list of books I had to manually type out. HORROR.
I think I refused to write a post for a couple of days after that.. Hope you take less time to “calm your tits”, haha.
Lately I’ve been hitting that save-button every couple of sentences just so I don’t have to go through the same thing again.. :’)

My tits are still a little infuriated at the moment Kathy! 😒 Man that would suck so bad writing all those books and then BAM! I can definiteley understand why you refused to post! But all in all my tits are a little aggravated still so will have to wait a little longer! Thanks for the advice though!!😁

Ugh, that’s awful! So frustrating. I hate when stuff like that happens, and it always seems to occur when you’ve put a ton of work in already. Never when you’ve only just begun.

I’ve found that my email will save a draft copy if you suddenly get rebooted or any other such thing right in the middle of a sentence so I’ve been typing up my thoughts on the book over there just in case here lately.

That’s good to know Carrie! What mine did was delete the whole post besides the letter M and published that! 😱😱😱

Wow, no idea why it would do something like that. You may want to try at least doing your typing out somewhere that will save just in case. I know that wouldn’t help as you add images and things but it would keep from losing everything you’d done. 😦

Did it not save a draft of it? WordPress went weird on me yesterday as well, lucky enough I copy and pasted the whole thing and redid it because it was being weird.

Nope it saved it as a blank draft with one letter so it was posted with one letter for a couple minutes. There was the title and the letter M in the body😒😒😒

I get your frustration with that. I have a 4 year old who loves to delete my posts and 2 cats who have been known to walk across my keyboard. Then I have to rewrite. So yeah, I totally get you there. And WordPress was acting all sorts of funky yesterday. It kept resetting my most recent post. I had to save draft after every paragraph.

awww that is crappy 😦 I’m sorry. It’s enraging when it happens. Seems like it always happens with a post or review that I’m really happy with or one that has taken forever to write then…..poof……it’s gone.
I’ve started writing it in word then transferring it to wordpress. Then I keep the word document for awhile in a folder on a USB. I used to just keep it on my computer but then my computer has malfunctioned way to many times so using the USB helps. I know it seems like a lot of work though.
Anyhow…I hope you feel better and I look forward to your posts!! ❤
