Have to vent! I lost my work!
I just spend 3 hours working on a post in Thrive Content Builder. I was saving it throughout. I then noticed that it said something went wrong and it wasn't saving. This was noticed as I was closing the window. Now all of my work is gone! Arrgggg, I am SO MAD!
I love the way my posts look when they are done with Thrive Content Builder, but some of the bugs I experience with it just really tick me off!
Anyways, I just wanted to vent to people who will understand :)

I have to go with magistudios.....google docs are excellent and I would take that extra step if you like the thrive results to start in google and then transfer to thrive.....trust me, we have all been burnt in one way or another when creating content or website 'glitches'.....it is an awful feeling but a great teacher for the need of 'backups' and duplicate copies.....
I want to get thrive content builder - but I have heard about those bugs. So frustrating! I had a panic moment today with something a like that, it's not good.
For this exact reason, I write all my content in Google docs before adding it to my websites.
yup....my bad...I figured out the problem...i had left my window open all night, then this morning I just started working again. My session must have timed out, but everything seemed to be working normally so I didn't notice.
That's very frustrating. My sympathies...Won't happen again if you save in Google Docs.

OUCH!! If I am writing something lengthy, I do it in Word, then copy and paste into the website post or page.
Also, and this is for quick fixes, if your work just all of a sudden disappears, like you inadvertently hit a wrong key or something, type CTRL + Z, which will undo the last action. That one has saved my arse many a time, lol.
I've experienced this too with TCB from time to time. I always but ALWAYS write in Google Docs first and THEN transfer it over. It's good practice anyway to have another backup of your content. Sorry you had to learn the hard way...See if you can try to retrieve an earlier saved version in WP.
That's too bad... I use TCB and have experienced that too, but only for a few minutes of work. That makes me think we should make sure to "save" the Wordpress visual editor as well...
Sorry to hear that - I have to admit I haven't heard of this as I tend to write in Word. I hope you manage to remember most of it :)

I'm not keen on transferring paragraphs from Google Docs or any other documents to TCB...only because it creates an extra table around it (see what I mean in the image).
Nested tables are meant to slow down the site speed, though I guess it's a tiny teeny issue, I try to minimise it... It also creates an extra margin that I have to manually change to 0.
Unless there's a way to take off the outer table (red lines) with one drag?
good to know!
