Working on an article and trying to save it is problematic. I have written a segment of an article and went to save it and it would not save. Now it has to be redone. Please advise
Use a word processing program for writing and when ready transfer it to the Hub Tool for Editing. That way you can't lose it!
Yep. This.
Never, ever write into a live application. The anguish when something goes wrong is unbearable and you can never reproduce that original writing in the same way.
Yes, open the word processing program and the article, copy and paste, save capsules, as I go, and when done! Abracadabra! I have two copies of the article saved. Presto!
I haven't encountered this problem on this site. I have, however, on a few other sites I used to write on so now what I do is make use of writing sites that auto save as I write, that way, I'm sure my work remains, even if my phone goes off while writing.
One of such sites I use is
-wordcounter.net
And it works for me all the time.
It might still be there. Check your article tab. Also, copy and paste to another program when you have this situation come up.
Yeah that used to happen to me, now I just use Word, or google docs if I am on the go.

I'm not even sure what that means. I have almost no links on anything, only 1 even has an amazon capsule, and I don't even know how to "keystuff" (it was listed on possible promotional items list). A friend told me maybe they think my content is generated by A.I. Well, it's not. I...

I'm new to HubPages and my question is how do you save your content as you go along? I thought I saved my content only to find out that when I went in again all was lost. Squidoo use to give me the option to save as I go along. Am I missing something?

Hi Hubbers,I'd like some help with passing the Quality Assessment Process. Will you please give feedback on my Hub How to Rap Real? (must be signed in to view). What can I do to improve? Thanks!

Why are incomplete articles saved as drafts receiving page views? I would prefer to keep them private until I have finished writing them.

Do you write straight into your hub or do you copy and paste from your wordprocessing program?Sometimes my ideas go straight into my hub particularly some of my poems. Other times I use word to play about with the text before I copy and paste into my hub. Just wondered if you use your...
