Am I the only one that LJ has been fucking with lately? Every time I edit my Favorite Fics post, it erases half of it. Which takes FOREVER to recreate!
My suggestion: stay out of the Rich Text Editor as much as fucking possible. It screws everything up, big time.
If you go to LJ Home and read their Maintenance Spotlight (or WTFever it's called) they have some suggestions and a list of issues that have been going on lately.
Of course, staying out of RTE means that you have to have some HTML knowledge. If you need to know anything, I have very limited knowledge that I can pass on... otherwise, LJ SUCKS BALLS RIGHT NOW when it comes to posting (and especially editing) anything.
It is clearly RTE that's the problem. I try to not use it but my html abilities are also somewhat limited and take me forever so when I'm just adding one little tiny thing to a post I just use RTE. BIG MISTAKE. Poof! everything is gone. I have found that if you preview something before posting, you will at least know whether or not everything is screwed and can fix it before LJ eats the post. But - once again - if in a hurry this is a pain.
Thanks for the sympathy. :(
(I may be calling on you for html help in the future because I have to get faster and better with it ...)
You are a sweetie. I just need to stop bitching about it and fix the stupid entry and not touch it again for a while. I have a whole book (html for dummies) of code that I'm just too lazy to drag out. So I try to take shortcuts ...
(It ate some of my 'Angel' recs on my fic rec entry so I'm sure you now understand my pain :) I have to re-link to them which isn't a big deal 'cept I JUST DID THIS TWO WEEKS AGO. Wow. SHouting did make me feel better ...)
A ha! What you linked is apparently what happened. (Guess I should read that stupid Spotlight crap, huh?) Anyways, I'll have to sit down this weekend and fix it. Yayz.

If you copy and paste the html into a document I can clean it up for you?
