Help!!! :[

If a mod reads this, is there any stored backup? The build still shows my introductory chapter when I mouse over it, so I think there may be hope for recovering the chapters.

Thanks in advance

When i was writing my guide i wrote all my chapter in a Word file for that reason, safety. You never know what happens. If the admin can't help you i think the only choice is to rewrite it :(

I thin Matt has restored a few guides. Although it's probably a good idea to rewrite it I word or notepad in the meantime.

Haha.. it was my first guide, I had no idea it could happen. I was fooled by the "Save" option on the right hand side, or I would have surely written it offline. I will remember that for next time, worst case.

Thanks guys, here's hoping Matt can work some magic. ^_^

Everything can happen, you might hit 'Save' but mishaps and errors can occur. Just as a Word file can be corrupted :)

Tip: When writing the guide, every time before you hit save, update your Word file with the new information. If something goes wrong, you'll then have it stored locally on your computer. This is easier then writing the guide in a Word file from the start of, as you don't need to copy/paste so much :)

Makes sense to me. And of course, I don't have any hard feelings against moba, it was just a loooooooot of paragraphs, and I'm not sure I could find the drive to type all of it out again.

So many tears ;_;

This has happened to a lot of people in the past, including myself, and it's one of the most frustrating things to happen to a guide T_T

I know how it feels :) My entire Miss Fortune guide got wiped once. As you can see I didn't finish it :3.

I know how this feels. I've never lost a guide, but I've lost an entire movie project that I'd been working on for 4 hours. That's a lot of time spend.

Just remember the safety, otherwise you'll end up like me, moving back and forward on your chair, whispering to yourself: "Don't worry, it's gonna be fine, don't worry, it's gonna be fine, don't worry.... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

How about adding a safety check to the site?

If you're deleting more than half the guide in a single revision, instead of saving it, show a red+bold warning/confirmation page first before modifying any data.
