Shirley,

I'm very sorry about this. We had one of our developers yesterday trying to figure out what the issue was with this. It was happening to a number of folks. He thinks maybe we got it straightened out. Does this post now seem to stay published and do what you're expecting? A few of the others that I was aware of seem to be fine now.

Bob Stewart apparently here is another post you can look into for the wonky stuff.

I had some issues today on the other members viewing my post end and have found some in draft and some revert to members only from public.

As some suggested I would log off, change my browser and log back in and give it another try.

That happened to me yesterday. I know there are some glitches that are going on today, too. Email support@activerain.com. 

Shirley Coomer an email to Support@ActiveRain should help you. Not likely to post anything until later today so....

You never learned AR is just like another child?

Tell the child two or three times before it does what you instructed.

This happened to me once and I've heard that others have experienced the same.  My habit now is to copy the final version and save it.  When I published the post the second time, it worked just fine. 

Good that they got this fixed.

I am glad to see from the comments that you got it working Shirley.

That happened to me yesterday. There must be a glitch in the program. Not to worry, I am certain the AR techies are already working on it.

Save your post first. Then, post it and you should be okay.

Shirley - This seems to happen on occasion here. It is always best to save your post somewhere else just in case something happens to it in AR.

The problem usually gets fixed within a day.

I haven't had that problem.
