 Topic: review gone after 'save'Posted: June 20 2023 at 03:09 |

I removed one sentence of my review (The Gift - Land of shadows) and clicked the Save button and then all text was gone... I don't save my reviews at another location (until now...) so this is completely lost. Unless there's some cache/backup? It seems a bug to me, I'm using a modern version of Firefox.

As far as I know, posts and reviews are not cached.

I have managed to recover some people's reviews and a lot more through google cache (one wants to be quick because those can go away). I can see part of your review in cached form here: CLICK Unfortunately the read more part is not cached.
If it was on the homepage it might have been cached there (it's not at the review url), but I did not find it and the only page I found was for a day or two earlier. Might find it later; I am having technical difficulties with my computer. Good to try cache:url plus maybe key words with google in such cases. Edited by Logan - June 20 2023 at 10:48 |

tnx for thinking with me, after posting I also searched the universal 'cache sites' (like Google) and found part of the review back. But my intention was mainly to address the supposed problem with the site, when you click 'Save' you don't expect 'Delete'. I'll change my own policy and secure my reviews on my computer from now on. I would say users & contributors may trust that their text does not disappear after their hard work.

For longer posts (forum or web) I find it is useful to first draft them out in MS Word (or similar) - that way you will have a saved copy if it vanishes into cyberspace when you try to post or edit.
