MT question

I'm currently using Version 2.63 of MT to run this site. My question for those of you with knowledge of this sort of thing is, look, because see, this being November, I'm writing the two novels, and since I'm very used to typing into a blog interface I'm posting them to Pain Suit, right, the chapters, and the ones that I have time to rewrite a little I even publish there, despite the fact that they're just rough drafts. Anyway, I just wrote a chapter there in which a logger takes his axe one winter and chops his son's cello into tiny bits, but when I tried to save it, it vanished. So my question is, does this version of MT have a crap filter installed or something?

I could use one of them. There wouldn't be much left to read, of course, but [CrapFilter® excision: 5,272 words] and then the cat finally went to sleep.

There would be such a gaping hole in the blogosphere as to create a perfect vacuum. Perish the thought.

Go into "Tools" and activate "Mr. Paperclip Man". Then type in "What was wrong with Chapter III?". He's tell you. The same way that he gives you pointless or erroneous grammatical advice. The same way that if you write "Austria" he might ask if you meant "Australia". The same way he might suggest that you correct the spelling of your own name, if you're lucky.

Good idea.
"1000 words, just like that, Your Honor, honestly. More like 1,250 in fact. Just, *poof*!"

Are you using the "tiny helicopters" patch?

I don't know about the internet in general, Brian, but it would sure save me a lot of server space.

Jessica, doesn't the "tiny helicopter" patch require a key?
