I wrote an article last night and it showed in my "Content" tab as "Submitted."
This morning when I check Associated Content, it was no longer there. I know I am not going crazy. I had links, sources, a picture, and a nice article about a celebrity...
This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. It's frustrating. Has this ever happened to you?

No! Oh, how scary that is! I write for them on a regular basis and I would hate for that to happen. I work so hard on my articles, and like you add links and sources as much as possible. It would be horrible to lose all that. I do write the bulk of the article in Word, but you can't replace the links as easily.

I am really sorry that that happened to you. No this has never happened to me. I always write my articles in word first and then copy and paste them into the associated content's page. That way if it gets lost like what happened to your article then I dont lose my work. I can just go to my saved word document and resubmit it. Yet again I am sorry that happened to you.

I learned quickly NOT to write articles in their panels, but to originate the article in a word program or even Notepad on my computer before submitting. Lesson learned! Thanks for your info and response. : )

sometimes that happens, you need to contact ac to see if is a book, and check your my content in case it is back now.

I have had this happen to me as well. It is fusterating. I know they usually do a clean sweep but that's usually at the end of the month. I'm not quite sure why it would be gone already if you just recently posted it.

I've never had this incident happen to me and I've never heard about anything with AC like this before. I am glad that your article did "come back" and I hope you didn't lose too many views because of this.
I haven't checked my published articles in a few weeks, maybe I better go and take a look, just in case.

Some times we don't get any idea because we got rejected that articles or something else so we need to be patient so that is only formula i believe and i wish that you will get days soon.

Hello my friend Bethany1202 JI,
Well, I think you just need not worry at all. Such small reverses will strenghten your writing.I always believe, whatever happens , happens for goodness. So why to woory. Only people who face reverses do shine. Keep your morale high. It was your own work, so you may write it still better. May God bless you and have a great time.

I had the same thing happen to me plus some of my forum posts are missing there too. I just emailed them to see if they can do anything about it.
