I am a newer member of the media for certain. So many would be inclined to say the value of my words is less than the value of the commodity. In this case the commodity in question is the spread of knowledge through the written word. My first article in The Sandbox was general enough, just an introductory piece. Call it Human Interest. But since then I have lost no less than three articles I have sumbitted. They have vanished into the ether to be enjoyed by Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa, and the inhabitants of Atlantis.

So I am hearby turning in my press credentials and cap until such time as the grand controllers may decide to fix this problem. I am to assume this will not be until public release but it that is so, so be it. I look forward to sharing my stories, and hope this issue is delt with in a timely and effective manner.

Good day to you all.

eRepublik sometimes eats articles. You have to either write them in Word, or at least ctrl+a ctrl+c it before you post

Erepublik is ridiculously buggy. You randomly lose articles, randomly lose images, randomly get kicked out of the military etc etc. As the previous replies said, just make sure to keep a backup of everything you write, also keep a backup of any images you use for your articles and your profile. All we can do is hope that V1 fixes these countless bugs, it would also be nice if they hire someone who speaks English as a first language to go over the text and remove all of the grammatical errors and typos.

I am surely going to copy every article from now on, until it is resolved. But I still feel no desire to continue to write until it is fixed. Thank you all for your comments. I too have fallen foul to the avatar glitch. One day it disappeared, so I replaced it with something else. Then the next day it was back to my original avatar, very bizarre.
