Why, when I am actively writing on my blog, do I suddenly have to go Sign In because you have disconnected me without telling me so. I lost probably two hours of work, and I'm furious. Why do you disconnect me with no notification and I cannot save my work?
The blog I need help with is americanelephant.wordpress.com.
No one here is disconnecting anyone so don't personalize technical issues please. What you describe sounds like it could be an issue with your ISP.
