Hey @digitalplayer, nice to meet you too. I had answered your kind comment on my ipad, it showed as "posted" and ??? swishhhh I could no longer find it as soon as i refreshed the page (this time on my computer).
Let's see if this one holds ;-)
Glad to see, the comment held this time. Should we, steemians, worry about this "disappearing act"? On another note... Average User Frustrations:
formatting challenges
markdown versus HTML
Best practices to post an image - successfully -
etc. etc.
So far, it takes me a full day of "messing around" with multiple applications to try and achieve a post that will look "ok" and its links to all included media work for me...
I must be missing out on easier ways, for sure... Argh ;) I know, I trust, that in time, all will be easier for us all "average computer users".
PS: On your blog now ;-)
Hugs from @patriciakm
Thank you for re-assuring me on this issue, dear @digitalplayer.
I gave up on the "online" markdown pages, I also lost so many of my early posts... I ended up giving up on those posts ideas altogether and never rewriting them. The passion had died in the difficult formatting exercise, which I eventually lost anyway. I could not reproduce what I had done.
Of late I have been trying "offline" markdown applications, they all have advantages... when tweaked and worked together ;-) But what a messy job to go through!
@arcange, my angel steemian (love your name)
Your long valued experience is needed, please.
Can you point us to the latest developments on this Text Editor User Issue?
Respect ;-) and a hug

Unfortunately I cannot talk to you about easier ways. I deal with same struggles!! Post Formatting is hard activity on Steemit.Com
Lucky me I know HTML tags... I am a web developer!!
Considering my knowledge you could think I do easily but not!! quite the opposite... there are many problems with the current user interface.
DISAPPEARING PHENOMENON
ever copy on clipboard the post/comment's text before submit.
One day happened to me to lose a long comment... with unique text on it... forever gone.
