Oops! I seem to have erased...

Oh dear... :-(

I just posted a second item to share - and appear to have erased the first one... Is this supposed to happen?

If not - what have I done wrong please?

And how would I do it right?

Thanks

David

Same happened to me David. However, when my 1st piece was erased, the comments/feed back remained. This meant that when I shared my 2nd piece of work,(a totally different story to the 1st) for anyone who had not read the 1st one , it looked as though the comments were about the current work showing, which did not relate to it at all. It would be better that comments were erased along with the work!

There is a 3000 word maximum. If you post again it will always erase the first unless you include it in your new edit. Some serialise this work so one chapter is seen per week to get feedback on a larger work. I believe this poses a problem with the comments which remain despite the new work posted.

Same thing happened to my work and I guess, it is supposed to happen. I realised that the Tab says Shared Work and not Works; maybe that is an indication.

Moreover I have seen people write one work following the other in this section,separating them by respective headings and notes.

well,I am not too sure David.

good luck.
