Why Are My Unpublished Drafts Vanishing??

To whom this may concern,my quest/attempt to compose unpublished drafts, total of three to be precise, has failed miserably. Please understand that the drafts are not three versions for the same product to be advertised on CraigsList. Three drafts, three different products (one draft / product).The problem (other than myself) I'm having is when proceeding and producing the second unpublished draft ......upon completing the second I discover that my previous first draft (unpublished draft) is now, some how, turned into a duplicate of the second unpublished draft. The first unpublished draft was archived/saved as a bookmark. Without avail, as of yet my first draft (unpublished draft) hasn't shown up regardless of search methods deployed.On another occasion, just previous to this incident, one of two of the completed unpublished drafts, of which at the time seemed to be progressing in the right direction, managed to vanish.My next attempt will be to publish the document immediately completing the draft. So much for proof reading, client approval...bla bla bla. Thank you for listening and.......Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration regarding this matter,Leonard Zangs

There could be several reasons why your unpublished drafts are disappearing on Craigslist. Here are a few possible explanations:

Expiration: Craigslist has a time limit on how long unpublished drafts can be saved. If you haven't published or edited a draft within a certain timeframe, it may automatically be deleted.
Technical Issues: Sometimes, Craigslist may experience technical issues that can cause drafts to disappear. It's possible that the site experienced a glitch or error that caused your drafts to vanish.
Account Issues: If there is an issue with your Craigslist account, such as a suspension or ban, your drafts may be deleted as a result.
Other Users: If someone else has access to your Craigslist account, they may be deleting your drafts intentionally or accidentally.

If you're unsure why your drafts are disappearing, you can try contacting Craigslist customer support for assistance. They may be able to provide more information and help you troubleshoot the issue.

It may be cause as a result of the expire of the draft. If you want to retain a permanent copy, published them but if you don't want to publish it. You can copy and paste it somewhere.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers.
