Dear Xanga,
For the love of Pete, why do you lose my posts? I am a hormonally challenged , deranged woman and just used my last bit of patience typing out a post and it appears that you have consumed it. 
Cough it up, you demon spawn.
eternally yours,
kisses, Julie

I love your letters to Xanga! I hope she is listening.
ohhh that evil xanga!
Bad bad Xanga… Seems a lot of people are having a problem with it. I’ve been lucky. *knocks on wood* When my stuff usually gets eaten is when I comment to someone else. Had a bad bout of that last week.
I hope you find what Xanga stole.
it’s just evil when that happens!
Amen to that sister!
Same here… Grrrr!!!!
I have started to copy all my posts prior to clicking any button… even spell check! LOL… that way I have it saved should cyber space or xanga eat it!

In the “old days” (25 years ago when I started using computers) we always made sure to save before printing, because the demons frequently ate files at that point. Now, I always select the contents of the post and Control-C (copy on a PC, not sure about a Mac) the contents into my clipboard. *Then* I spellcheck or submit. If the post gets lost, it’s still there in my clipboard and I can paste it into a new page. On a PC, it’s Control-A (to select All) and Control C (to copy), then go about your business. If the gods are smiling and you don’t need it, you haven’t wasted much effort.
But…..the xanga monster needs to eat too!!!
Did the kisses help? Is xanga behaving for you now?
It drives me crazy when xanga eats my posts.

I just love the sweet “kisses” at the end….lol = )
I do the save thing before I hit the post key, but why oh why do we have to
I just wrote an estranged email to xanga last night; once again demanding photo borders, my spell check function and now, my “edit” function. If I pay for premium…darnnit…I should get premium service!
Coup de’ tat!
Somewhere in your Xanga settings, you can check a box that saves a backup of your posts. I’ve never used it, but it might help. I often select and copy my posts right before I click submit, just in case.
Thanks for the lead on the apple peeler & corer in a previous post. Those are on sale around here this time of year, but I always wondered if they worked.
hahah. i have never had xanga delete my posts. (knock on wood) who says i won’t be able to post now? sigh.
har!
i HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!!
Awwww, I hate it when Xanga is being fickle!
hormonally deranged….LOL!
How did your pizza sauce get?I did some earlier,I will be doing up applesauce soon.I love homemade applesauce!
Ha good luck with that, I kept loosing them too, finally starting typing a little then either saving the little button up by spell check or doing a private post and going back in to edit until I was finished, then make it public. Makes me scream when I lose them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol! : )
It happens to me all the time too. I’ve started saving everything in private mode obsessively in the hopes of not losing any more but sometimes Xanga even eats those! Urgh.
Er… wow! I hope you don’t totally go around the bend!
I’m sorry. :[
I hope you get your post back.
It is so not funny when this happens…but this post, VERY FUNNY.
Yeah, I’ve had that problem before too. Anymore, I usually just type them in wordperfect and then just transfer them over for that very reason.
Who’s Pete? ;o)
My thoughts exactly!!
