So discouraged...

I just spent a good portion of the morning writing captions for the next Tomato legacy update (which I've been sitting on half-finished for ages, lacking all ability to write anything even remotely resembling clever captions), only to have most of the update vanish after I hit "save entry." I was working in the post window, but I'd been working in that all along, saving as I went. I was all fine until I finished the whole thing. Then I saved and only the first five images or so and their captions were still there.

I am so disappointed in livejournal right now.

that's terrible

Arg! I feel you pain! :(
The post window is working like sh* lately, especially the rich text editor. It seems like its not dealing with long entries at all. I use semagic for the long entries, so haven't feel it much, but noticed it when trying to make quick posts directly in LJ, or editing old entries. Very, very annoying! (I tend to be very faithful to LJ, but all this lit' things lately are starting to bug me a lot, tbh)

Oh gods that sucks. I've been crossposting everything from Dreamwidth since the new text editor started messing up. I just don't trust LJ anymore.

I suggest to you to use semagic. You can save drafts and all posts in separate files in your computer so you never lose anything.
I only use the online editor to make minor corrections and I noticed that lately the wyswyg editor is not working properly, it mess the formats, it don't understand lj tags and I lost a post recently trying to use that crap (but I had a backup since I first post everything with semagic so it was a minor problem). I only edit my posts now in HTML.

Might I suggest the Lazarus Form Recovery browser extension? It's saved my bacon numerous times for stuff like this. It saves what you've typed into any form-y type boxes recently in some temporary storage thing, and I'm pretty sure you can set it to recover stuff from as long ago as two weeks. I'm not sure what browser you use, but it's available for Firefox and Chrome, and totally free.

One more nail to the LJ coffin, I see :(

Oh no! I'm so sorry; that is the worst.

That bastard did it to me several weeks ago. Ugh. I went back to Semagic. :(
