Okay, say you have been working 23.5 hours a day for the last 16 months on a 2000 word post that you have saved in draft. This is your Crowning Jewel and will set the bar of the standard of excellence that will be sought by the masses in the ages to come.
However, instead of finishing it and publishing it and then starting another masterpiece like somebody normal, you decide to start 192 more posts all of which you bloody save in draft!!
Then, God forbid, WA , or your mate or Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy deletes your post because God knows you didn't screw yourself, you notice it and immediately recognize it as the four runner of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse as prophesied by John the Revelator.
Here's what you do; (The first three (3) steps are completely unnecessary, but you will do them anyway.)
1.) Ask the question in open forum so everybody and their little brother that have no clue can tell you it's lost forever and all is lost and they will pray for you to somehow recover from such massive loss.
2.) Write Kyle AND Carson and don't forget Jay at least 5 times each blaming them because it has got to be the fault of WA some how.(Sarcasm)
3.) Contact support so they can tell you they can install the last backup but it will erase everything you have done after that and before you noticed gremlins screwed you during the night.
4.) Finally, you calm down and be happy and go get your lost post.
Enjoy!!
