Normally, when I publish a post, I'll re publish repeatedly, to get the right content. For this post, I won't be doing that.
I just spent 1/2 hour updating another post, Another blog is already hosted at this address. I had to copy and paste some changes, from the published copy to Post Editor, when revising other changes. Here's what I did, initially.
Other bloggers claim that AutoSave doesn't work either.
And some claim problems with the posting date / time.

(5) Looks like I, at least, am back in business. (6) And see my subsequent tests, too.

I just spent 1/2 hour updating another post, Another blog is already hosted at this address. I had to copy and paste some changes, from the published copy to Post Editor, when revising other changes. Here's what I did, initially.
- Start Post Editor.
- Make changes to an existing post.
- Publish the changes.
- Verify the changes in the updated post.
- Go back to Post Editor to revise the changes.
- The changes just made are gone.

Your request could not be processed. Please try again.
Auto Save failed.
And some claim problems with the posting date / time.

Recently, some of our users reported problems with editing, publishing and auto saving posts. We have released a fix which should prevent this from happening.

Clear your browser's cache but do -not- clear your cookies.In the process of adding this update, I note that my Post Editor shows very old contents for this post. Moving to another computer, I am able to update the current copy of my post. (1) But, to annotate the update, I have to move to yet a third computer. And I must note that the second computer is NOT typically used for composing or editing posts, so having a Post Editor article in cache there is not a possibility. And now, I am out of computers. I suspect that I will have to cease updating this post.

could you tell me the URL of the blogs you're experiencing this problem with, what Operating System (e.g. Windows XP) you're using, what Web browser you're using (e.g. Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer), and what country you're in.

Plus some errors when trying to auto save. Strange.
All my changes including title bar get lost.
Would it work just to do the final draft somewhere else and then post it without editing?
I’ve tested a lot of scenarios and documented what happens (with one of my own ["Wall Street"] blogs) on the long thread. I hope that helps them. But it seems like there is some kind of corruption of a database that holds the “change control” in the Editing of posts. Or it may be a display problem as to how it reads the changes when displaying on the dashboard. As I noted before, I’ve seen this kind of issue before in an IBM mainframe environment with Change Control when not used properly.
I noticed a change in the dashboard page to add a “Reading List”. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I haven’t tried the feature yet.
This is pretty urgent. I hope Blogger reports on this to us quickly.
Google has been at work now for maybe an hour, so give them time to drink their coffee. We just documented the problem late last night.
So is Google aware of the issue? I just got concerned because I don't usually have problems or check blogger status, etc. And I just noticed that there have not been any updates this entire month. Usually they're right on top of stuff like this.

They have email about it. I share your frustration, but right now, we have to wait.
Though you can help contribute positive encouragement in the forum.

I'm saving a copy in my yahoo drafts for now. How sad...
Ixx
Even after I refresh browser, clear cache and cookies... still... to no avail...
At times what I do to edit a post is copy the entire post and create a DUPLICATE post just to see the updated one.
Hopefully this can be fixed soon...
