Now, this is a CRAZY idea, but hear me out on this one. It's crazy, but it might be crazy enough to work.
What if Instructables had some sort of...like...test server...where they deployed and tested changes before making them live...you know, to work out the bugs and get feedback before throwing untested code on LIVE PRODUCTION MACHINES. We could call it...hmm...like, oh, oh, I know - BETA TESTING!
Naaaaaaaaaaaaah, that'd never work. After all, it's not like it's industry bare-bones minimum standard procedure or anything.
Oh wait.
The bugs we're seeing now are all new bugs, not present before release, and the team are working hard on fixing them.
Prior to doing that, I found stuff would disappear unaccountably on me.
This was many months ago. however.
I write everything and when I go to publish it deletes everything and then saves by its self. I've got aroung seven unpublishable instructables now and I keep on getting new ideas.
What I dont get is that some people can publish fine.
Maybe we are cursed by the instructables robot or maybe this is for s reason???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:-)??????????????????????????.
parsererror
SyntaxError: Unexpected token F
Getting this error message :(
I cannot edit it, cannot delete it. It doesn't even have the video embed code saved, all it has is a title.
I'm not even trying to upload anything, just trying to embed a video which is already uploaded at youtube. But still it says "updating" forever and it never saves.
So now how do I get the old code out and put the new code in, when the edit page is frozen in this 'updating' limbo?
And they really are undead videos- they are for vampire coffins!
When I do all the text on one page ( I was testing it.) when I click publish it deletes every thing.
But I noticed that a week ago the image uploader had changed.
Maybe it is the new up;oader.
Im going to try on another computer tomorrow.
If editing Instructable and you select one of the steps you have done before it does not change to the text you wrote for that step.
It keeps the first steps text instead.
So you can not edit your steps.

I'm hoping this gets fixed, because I have a submission for the make it stick contest that closes Monday.
please let me know if you're still having problems.
This is a problem for me as the contest closes today at midnight.
I haven't gotten beyond the first click on add photo, HELP!!!
Kiteman: nice loop on the see also! LOL
I barely made it though - done in a hurry, I finished about 4:30AM here in Oz and didn't have time to really check it out before I fell asleep.
Again, no particular hurry, but the problem is not fixed for me.
Angler, your Instructable has an apostrophe in the title. That causes a problem with the new editor, which I've fixed but haven't been able to release yet.
So please just give me a little bit more time, I'll try to release fixes for known issues tomorrow or first thing Monday morning.
I checked and as far as I know I don't have an apostrophe in my title.
this is the one I'm currently working on:
http://www.instructables.com/id/EYIVPAKGTO4PH5D/
please let me know what I'm doing wrong so I can avoid the problem in the future. I've got a bunch of other instructables that are in process and others that i'm kicking around in my head so I'd like to learn how to do it right. writing has never been my strongest attribute so I've been finding that writing the instructable has taken me a lot longer than the projects themselves.
this is my first instructable that i'm embedding video in so that may be the problem. I loaded the video onto youtube and I've read the posts about the syntax for embedding the clip so I think I've done it correctly but maybe the format has changed with the new editor?
thanks for your time.

The line of your Instructable where you have the characters [, {, }, and ] is causing a problem with the editor.
This is not your fault, and nothing you should have to worry about.
I'll adjust the editor so characters like this aren't a problem.
Please forgive the error on my part. It's difficult to anticipate little variations like this!
this is what i wrote to embed the video clip:
[[Video(http://youtu.be/nFfctNqSogA, {width:500, height:400}) ]]
if there's another's format that the new editor prefers let me know. Does it matter where you write the code? I have this as the first line in my instructable but that's probably not the right place?
Copy the code that is given.
In your instructable's edit mode, there's a button looks like a piece of cine film. Click it, and you get a text box.
Into that, paste the code you copied from the video.
Vis:
The problem wasn't the embed code which should be as Kiteman says, but wasn't actually the cause.
The problem was in one of your image notes, an invisible character in there was making the editor choke. I've corrected it and put in the video embed for you while I was in there.
Please let me know if you have any more problems!
Thank you
Mostly because if I break something nobody is around to help fix it.
By "if" I mean "I will definitely break something".
