Hi,

I'm seeing an issue where I edit an existing blog & press save. It looks as if its worked, but when I look at my blog it remains unchanged and I've lost my changes.

I think this only happens if there is an error in the connection or something similar (which I'm experiencing a bit of right now), but its quite frustrating.

The same symptom can be replicated by signing in as admin on computer 1 and start editing a blog, using computer 2 sign in as the same user and change the email and password. Go back to computer 1, make some changes and press save. It appears to work but the changes are lost. You can also go again into edit mode, make changes and save and again same thing.

I'm seeing it because I seem to have an issue whereby my ftp stops working on one particular pc if I'm using wireless, but I still seem to be able to navigate the web. I'm a bit confounded at quite what's happening & why, but a side effect is I lose my blog changes if this happens.

Its probably unlikely to be encountered by most people.

Hi Joe,

That sounds like an improvement as at least I wouldn't keep trying and not getting it to work (having forgotten I'd changed the password). If it was only caused by this password change that would be fair enough, but it seems that a similar issue is caused by an error (maybe a dodgy internet connection) - it would be really great if there was a solution that gave a chance to copy the changes before they are just lost - at the moment I daren't make changes to blogs while connected via wireless in case I lose my work, and its a bit of a pain to have to connect up to the cable every time I want to add to a blog. At least if I got an error message and a chance to copy it, I wouldn't stand to lose 15 or 20 minutes worth of work if my internet connection starts playing up again.

Maybe this isn't feasible though?

Hi Joe,

I chose my hosting provider from the recommendations on your site, so I'm sure they are fine. I've forwarded them your comments and they are going to check it out.

I'm testing a daily backup option, maybe that triggered the issue you saw? Its set to run at 3am GMT, but of course that won't be 3am for you.

Thanks for the heads up on custom errors. I did purposely have them set to off because I've been debugging a couple of issues that were not seen on my local setup, but I probably should have set it straight back in between debugging.

I'm still pretty foxed by the apparent internet connection issues I'm seeing. I'm currently consistently seeing a problem if I try to use Jing to ftp but only when using wireless (plug in a cable & it works fine). Also Filezilla ftp fails using wireless but not cable, although both work wirelessly on another pc (could be a windows 7 issue?). But thats an issue I will need to sort out. (I've just found a service pack for Windows 7 so will test with that).

I've no experience (yet) of trying to deal with loss of internet connectivity on a website. I've got the mojoportal source building on VS 2010 and now need to find the time to setup a database and get it running via the IDE. Maybe then I'll be able to get an idea of whats happening.

Many thanks for your time in explaining things.

[update] On the MojoPortal forum page, for a day or so when I've pressed the reply button to reply to this I was getting the "we're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request" message. And just as a comparative I tried the buy Joe a beer button and that works fine :) (gave me an excuse to join you with a Guiness). Seems to be working again now.
