Ible text disappears (permanently) during editing
While editing the Intro of an unpublished instructable, I clicked on the "Library" tab to delete an unwanted image.
Then I selected the "Upload" tab, and uploaded two replacements.
When I scrolled up, all the Intro body text was gone. Kaput. It had been entered and edited several times the day before, so it wasn't a "you didn't save your changes" bug...

Another minor bug, on my You page:
Instructables: You've published "X instructables." You're working on "X instructables."
If you click the You're working on "X instructables." link, the counter at the top says Unpublished (0).
But if I select the Instructables tab at the top, it correctly lists Unpublished (1).

I just that same thing - just after publishing my latest project, I decided to tweak the format of the Intro.
When clicked edit, and went to the intro, it was empty except for the image.
Fortunately, I make it a habit to immediately download the PDF version when I publish a project, so I had the text hand to copy-and-paste back in.

The PDF is a good insurance policy. I'll do that (when I get to the publishing stage.)

This wasn't a real hardship, as I normally write a draft with a text editor. Still, once the text is entered, changes are always made, so those were lost.
Incidentally (and I don't plan to use this info), non-pro members can create their own advanced formatting just by using MS Word, and cutting-and-pasting:
Some fancyformatting
And somemore…
I'll delete this, if it's a problem. But I can't be the only one who's figured this out...Reply 11 years ago
