Posts absent from My Posts

Is anyone else experiencing posts that they have made not showing up in their My Post log?

It's not all of my posts. It's just an intermittent occurrence. I was wondering if it has been happening to anyone else. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

I spend a bunch of time composing and copying. I have lost posts to site errors, page errors but I can't say that I have ever done that. That's why I copy everything now to a different place then paste and post.

Thanks for sharing, marble falls. ❤️

I have to update mine when one of my posts doesn't show.

Or misspell the name Tramp.

And it still shows up. The lost posts are still missing after clearing my trash. But thanks for the suggestion usonian.

Do your posts show up there? Suspecting not.
As suggested upstream - I'm leaning toward the problem probably being you have forgotten to actual click the 'post' button (as has happened to this hapless fool, more times than I'd like) - and almost always following a 'preview' that I have completed, and then back-arrowed out of - rather than going back and doing the necessary 'post' action.

I composed this. I had already tried your approach and the problem persists.

If you forget to post, at least in my browser, you can retrieve your post content after several back clicks. I do however, always lose the title box content and have to reenter it when that happens.

I have changed my overall approach. Now I focus on composing elsewhere and then cutting and pasting. It drastically improved my error rate.

Thanks for the suggestion, stopdiggin.

In my browser - once I've back-clicked - content is just gone, period - no bringing it back. With attendant sinking feeling, voluble invective, and self loathing ... (particularly if I've kind of 'worked' on something - put some time and effort in ... )
