Yes, it opened a new window and I got the error message. Thinking it was something in the connection I closed everything because it was 4am in the morning. When I opened it again everything was lost.

OK, got it. Thanks Maximiliano.

I can see other threads having the same issue, many of them, so I'm sure there's a non-fixed bug in the site that's kind of random.

There was a bug yesterday afternoon that was fixed.

Why don't you stop complaining on the lost work? It is a pity, but there is nothing else you can do right now.
The only thing you can do, and it is a quite productive one, is to calm down, try to focus and help Chris to track down the problem.
If you are lucky, then he will be able to get some of your work back.
Don't take it bad, but I think you are focusing too much on your lost and not paying enough attention to the questions you are being asked.

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I don't want to complain neither talk about it anymore, it's lost, period. Please do not continue adding more comments to this thread.

It's ok, I just wanted to stop the discussion. There wan an issue, I complained, felt a bit frustrated, it's over...

If he's lost work because of a problem on our site he has the right to express his disappointment and frustration. He's also said he just wants to move on.
Let's drop it. If Maximiliano wishes to keep helping me work through what may have happened that's up to him.
cheers

I gave them all the information I have, there's nothing else I can add, unfortunately.

Totally agree.
On the other hand, if it is in your side. I would be interested trying to avoid it in the future.

I read it later and he answered to me as well.

Pro Tip: always keep a local copy on plain text. Before saving just copy the entire formatted content and paste it in a .txt.

It means, do not trust on the site. In general in the cloud storage everywhere it's not necessary to have local copies, that's the whole purpose of using cloud storage whatever it is the service. I didn't imagine I could lose the whole article, it makes sense to lose some changes but not many many hours saving the same article.

Which should be cristalline. Flickering connections, browser errors, hacker attacks or defacements that force a hard restore, DEFCON 1... Having a backup is a must, especially for a professional user.

It's not about trust...I also lost an article (worked on 3 months), thanks to my daughter...Since than I have a local, CP and Google drive copy...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I think it's a matter of trust. Most of the services of the world do not fail at this level. Now I'm warned this website is not something to trust. When I write big emails in Google I don't think I need to save a local copy, ever, because I didn't have any issue on a draft mail of GMail, ever.

Unfortunately, you saw an issue with the site that happens very, very infrequently. I can appreciate that you are angry but ultimately, what has happened, has happened. Perhaps it's time to calm down for a bit because this is only going to keep you angry and that's not going to do you any good.

I stopped answering to avoid making this a big issue (even when I didn't sleep until 3am to write most of the article) but I keep receiving more comments even when I want to close it.

Thanks, honestly. I feel frustrated because I was writing the article while I was keeping an eye on my daughter that was sick and I was checking out every 10 minutes if she was ok. I went to bed at 4.30am thinking I accomplished something due to I couldn't sleep. It happens sometimes.

Oh man. That's rough (and scary).
How is she?

She's ok, normal nights when you have a 1 year old girl, children get sick a lot the first years.
