After Bubblews shut their doors in such a hurry, some people were caught out, by not having copied their posts. There is a simple solution to recovering many of them, with Auntie Google's cached pages. If you are not familiar with this,...here's how! Type your bubble User name in the search box, space, then site:bubblews.com as below... I'll use mine! EXAMPLE..... bookbar site:bubblews.com To access the cached copy in the resulting search listing, click on the little green triangle at the right of the url, under the title of the article... the word "Cached" should appear. Click on that! They can be viewed in TEXT only or full view, in the header Not all pages are 'cached' by search engines, but you should be able to recover many. Happy Hunting!

@Gabugs Nice to see you, Gabby. I won't be retrieving mine. There is no need. I saved them all on my laptop.

@ElizabethWallace You did a wise thing Elizabeth. I have saved most of them too. But was wondering if we could delete these.

There is something that works even better, because you only get your posts site:bubblews.com "by @bookbar"

@bookbar Yes, I know, I gave the instructions to at least ten ex bubblers yesterday. I can see almost all my posts because I shared them through G+, so they are all indexed, but I never wrote my posts directly, so I have all the texts (and photos) saved on my computer.

@Inlemay Don't have the answer to deleting 'cached' copies, my computer knowledge is sketchy to say the least....

Ooh, I never even thought of this. You clever thing! However, I'm not that fussed about most of my posts over there!

@Poppylicious Me neither, but some people seem to be bereft at losing them

It is so long that I have had any reason to use cached resources that it would no longer have occurred to me.

Thanks for that. I actually just found one that I would like to keep. I thought I didn't want to keep any of them so I didn't.

@bookbar Thanks so v. much for this valuable tip. Will try to look up. Initially all I found was Bubblews apologizing for closing down. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks again @bookbar. I could locate my bubbles as advised. Could you please let me know if these could be deleted as I have some in Word.
