I spent damn near 4-5 hours last night prettying up my den page, using free CSS and HTML guidance given by the community. I had a purple/teal theme goin on, with an extensive bio and pictures included. I don't know how to make CSS or do HTML on my own, so this was a very VERY complicated process for me and took a lot of trial and error. I was so happy with the result by the end, that I made sure to double check that it was saved. I saved my territory bio a few times, and even logged out and back in to see if my progress saved and it did. I guess it's my fault for not saving all of the script I had written on a separate page in case of this happening, but I was so delirious from staying up all night working on this that it didn't even cross my mind. Well, to my surprise, I log on my account this morning and find all of my progress gone. It switched back to an old free CSS I was using and completely wiped my biography. I am beyond devastated and completely frustrated. What do I even do now? I submitted a mod ticket but I seriously doubt that they could/would do anything. I'm about to up and leave the game for a while, I am so upset. I loved my den page so much and I worked so hard :(

That absolutely sucks!
My guess is that the page you rolled one was one from before you started working, one where it had "Your details have been saved." on top.

Reloading the page that has that usually brings you to whatever change had been made when you saved then.

If you coded your CSS elsewhere in the dropbox or whatever you had been using to code, there is a chance your file is still there! You just need to copy the link and put it in the right location again following the guide.

Your Bio, however, if you do not have a page with your work done or any open in progress, it will be lost.
IF YOU HAVE A TAB OPEN WITH ANYTHING IN YOUR DEN OF THAT WORK, DO NOT CLOSE IT OR RELOAD IT. Click edit and save instead.


I just tested it in my own den with a small change, it is the reloading with the saved details that undoes any progress. Always close those pages. Always.

Noted! I feel a little better now, as I just redid everything in half the time it took me yesterday, so at least I'm getting the practice in. I also made a google doc this time with all of the information just on the off chance I make the same mistake, though I think I've learned my lesson thank you for your advice!
