I lost five of my articles, replies to each included! I had inadvertently deleted them, not aware that if I erased them from my Live Writer, they’d be gone from WordPress, too!
Is there any way I could retrieve them?

i’m very disappointed. all the while i thought once i transfer my draft from Live Writer to WordPress, i’m free to delete. i was particularly concerned with the Japanese Gang Bang entry, as i didn’t want it accessed by minors here at home. they might stray onto the Live Writer icon on the browser, and BANZAI!
i am upset, too, that among those i lost were articles i cared most about. i wrote them offline, it took me time to ponder before publishing.

yup, it’s still there. i had to retype this particular post after i lost it with the rest of them. the others, i don’t know if i’ll be able to muster diligence to rewrite, or have time to.

by the way, i have noticed the gang bang article to be one of the most read/clicked.

That sucks, sorry. We have a bug entered that the Delete button should warn you–loudly–that you are deleting both the local AND server copies.

thanks for the info. i didn’t know whom to ask for help (and it was a weekend when it happened, i couldn’t ask admin).
yes, there has to be a noticeable warning should users decide to delete files.
