 * After I have saved a draft, and want to go back to edit it, the title and the
   body is there, until I press save and continue editing. Then its gone and wiped
   out.
 * Also, if I click edit from a published post, it will not show up in the html 
   editor.
 * What is going on with this? Ever since I upgraded I have had nothing but problems.

 * Thanks for all the help everyone. I’m sure with time it will fix itself.

 * Are you pressing “Save and Continue” or “Save”?
 * The first will save and leave the post in the post box. Just “Save” will save
   it and clear the page, ready for another post. But then you should see the link
   to the draft at the top still.

 * Handysolo, I have done both, it also happens when I want to edit a comment. I
   click on “edit this comment” and it goes blank.
 * Cipta, you want to be a little more specific abouth the htaccess?

 * Ok, here is how I fixed this: I donwloaded the latest version of wordpress and
   uploaded only the newest “post.php” page. That did it for me. Too bad I spent
   weeks trying to figure out what the hell was wrong.
